requireInDateRange: Require that an index date is within a date range

In CohortConstructor: Build and Manipulate Study Cohorts Using a Common Data Model

Require that an index date is within a date range

Description

requireInDateRange() filters cohort records, keeping only those for which the index date is within the specified date range.

Usage

requireInDateRange(
  cohort,
  dateRange,
  cohortId = NULL,
  indexDate = "cohort_start_date",
  name = tableName(cohort),
  .softValidation = TRUE
)

Arguments

cohort	A cohort table in a cdm reference.
dateRange	A date vector with the minimum and maximum dates between which the index date must have been observed.
cohortId	Vector identifying which cohorts to modify (cohort_definition_id or cohort_name). If NULL, all cohorts will be used; otherwise, only the specified cohorts will be modified, and the rest will remain unchanged.
indexDate	Name of the column in the cohort that contains the date of interest.
name	Name of the new cohort table created in the cdm object.
.softValidation	Whether to perform a soft validation of consistency. If set to FALSE four additional checks will be performed: 1) a check that cohort end date is not before cohort start date, 2) a check that there are no missing values in required columns, 3) a check that cohort duration is all within observation period, and 4) that there are no overlapping cohort entries

Value

The cohort table with any cohort entries outside of the date range dropped

Examples

library(CohortConstructor)

cdm <- mockCohortConstructor(nPerson = 100)
cdm$cohort1 |>
  requireInDateRange(indexDate = "cohort_start_date",
                     dateRange = as.Date(c("2010-01-01", "2019-01-01")))
