In CohortMethod: Comparative Cohort Method with Large Scale Propensity and Outcome Models

Create a parameter object for the function createStudyPopulation()

Description

Create a parameter object for the function createStudyPopulation()

Usage

createCreateStudyPopulationArgs(
  removeSubjectsWithPriorOutcome = TRUE,
  priorOutcomeLookback = 99999,
  minDaysAtRisk = 1,
  maxDaysAtRisk = 99999,
  riskWindowStart = 0,
  startAnchor = "cohort start",
  riskWindowEnd = 0,
  endAnchor = "cohort end",
  censorAtNewRiskWindow = FALSE
)

Arguments

removeSubjectsWithPriorOutcome	Remove subjects that have the outcome prior to the risk window start?
priorOutcomeLookback	How many days should we look back when identifying prior outcomes?
minDaysAtRisk	The minimum required number of days at risk. Risk windows with fewer days than this number are removed from the analysis.
maxDaysAtRisk	The maximum allowed number of days at risk. Risk windows that are longer will be truncated to this number of days.
riskWindowStart	The start of the risk window (in days) relative to the startAnchor.
startAnchor	The anchor point for the start of the risk window. Can be "cohort start" or "cohort end".
riskWindowEnd	The end of the risk window (in days) relative to the endAnchor.
endAnchor	The anchor point for the end of the risk window. Can be "cohort start" or "cohort end".
censorAtNewRiskWindow	If a subject is in multiple cohorts, should time-at-risk be censored when the new time-at-risk starts to prevent overlap?
