dataDIVAT1: A First Sample From The DIVAT Data Bank.

In RISCA: Causal Inference and Prediction in Cohort-Based Analyses

A First Sample From The DIVAT Data Bank.

Description

A data frame with 5943 French kidney transplant recipients from the DIVAT cohort.

Usage

data(dataDIVAT1)

Format

A data frame with 5943 observations for the 7 following variables:

trajectory

A numeric vector with the sequences of observed states. The patient evolution can be described according to a 4-state structure: X=1 represents the healthy state, X=2 represents the acute rejection episode, X=3 the definitive return to dialysis and X=4 the death. These times can be right-censored. A vector of covariates is also collected at the transplantation, i.e. the baseline of the cohort.

time1

A numeric vector with the times (in days) between the transplantation and the first clinical event (acute rejection episode, return to dialysis, or death with a functioning graft), or the times to censoring if trajectory=1.

time2

A numeric vector with the time between the transplantation and the second clinical event (return to dialysis or death with a functioning graft), or the the time to censoring if trajectory=12.

ageR

A numeric vector with the recipient age (in years) at the transplantation.

sexR

A character vector with the recipient gender.

year.tx

A numeric vector with the calendar year of the transplantation.

z

A numeric vector represents the explicative variable under interest, i.e. the delayed graft function (1=yes, 0=no).

Examples

### a description of transitions
table(dataDIVAT1$trajectory)

### patient-graft survival (first event between the return to dialysis and the patient 
### death with a functioning graft)

dataDIVAT1$time<-NA
dataDIVAT1$time<-ifelse(dataDIVAT1$trajectory %in% c(1,12,13,14),
dataDIVAT1$time1,dataDIVAT1$time1+dataDIVAT1$time2)

      ylab="Patient-graft survival")
