Introduction

'amscorer' package provides functions for calculating various clinical scores used in healthcare. These scores assist in assessing patient risks, predicting outcomes, and making informed clinical decisions. The key clinical scores included in this package are:

• Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI): Predicts ten-year mortality risk based on comorbid conditions.

• EPICES Score: Measures social deprivation.

• MELD Score: Evaluates the severity of chronic liver disease.

• Alternative Fistula Risk Score (a-FRS): Assesses the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula.

• Distal Pancreatectomy Fistula Risk Score (D-FRS): Estimates the risk of fistula after distal pancreatectomy.

Usage Examples :

Calculating the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI)

The CCI predicts ten-year mortality risk based on the presence of comorbid conditions.

# Example data for CCI
set.seed(123)
n <- 10
my_data <- data.frame(
  age = sample(30:90, n, replace = TRUE), # age
  mi = sample(0:1, n, replace = TRUE), # Myocardial infraction
  chf = sample(0:1, n, replace = TRUE), # Congestive heart failure
  pvd = sample(0:1, n, replace = TRUE), # preripheral vascular disease
  cevd = sample(0:1, n, replace = TRUE), # Cerebrovascular accident or Transient ischemic attack
  dementia = sample(0:1, n, replace = TRUE), # Dematia
  cpd = sample(0:1, n, replace = TRUE),# Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  ctd = sample(0:1, n, replace = TRUE),# Connective tissue disease
  pud = c(sample(0:1, (n-1), replace = TRUE) , NA), # peptide ulcer disease
  liver_disease = sample(0:2, n, replace = TRUE), #Liver disease(None,Mild,Moderate to severe)
  diabetes_mellitus = sample(0:2, n, replace = TRUE),#Diabetes(None,uncomplicated,End-organ)
  hp = sample(0:1, n, replace = TRUE), # Hemipledia
  ckd = sample(0:1, n, replace = TRUE), #Moderate to severe Chronic kidney disease
  solid_tumor = sample(0:2, n, replace = TRUE), #Solid tumor(None,Localized,Metastatic)
  leuk = sample(0:1, n, replace = TRUE), # Leukemia
  lym =  c(sample(0:1, (n-2), replace = TRUE) , c(NA , NA)), # Lymphoma
  aids = sample(0:1, n, replace = TRUE) # AIDS
)

amscorer::cci(my_data ,replace_na_with_zero = FALSE) 

getting CCI score with amscorer

amscorer::cci(my_data ,replace_na_with_zero = FALSE)$cci_score  

EPICES Score

The EPICES score measures social deprivation through a series of binary responses.

# Example data for EPICES
my_data <- data.frame(
  epices_1 = c(1, 0, 1),
  epices_2 = c(0, 1, 1),
  epices_3 = c(0, 0, 0),
  epices_4 = c(1, 0, 0),
  epices_5 = c(0, 1, 0),
  epices_6 = c(1, 0, 1),
  epices_7 = c(0, 1, 0),
  epices_8 = c(0, 0, 1),
  epices_9 = c(1, 1, 0),
  epices_10 = c(0, 0, 1),
  epices_11 = c(1, 0, NA)
)

amscorer::epices_score(my_data ,prefix = "epices",replace_na_with_zero = FALSE)  

getting only the EPICES score with amscorer

amscorer::epices_score(my_data ,prefix = "epices",replace_na_with_zero = FALSE)$epices_score

amscorer::epices_score(my_data ,prefix = "epices",replace_na_with_zero = TRUE)$epices_score

MELD 3.0 (currently recommended by OPTN)

The MELD score evaluates the severity of chronic liver disease.

# Example data for MELD 3.0
my_data <- data.frame(
  Sex = c(1, 0, 1),
  Creatinine = c(1.5, 2.0, 3.1),
  Bilirubin = c(1.2, 2.5, 1.8),
  INR = c(1.1, 1.4, 2.0),
  Sodium = c(135, 130, 140),
  Albumin = c(3.0, 2.5, 3.5)
)

amscorer::meld_3(my_data) 

MELD Score (Original, Pre-2016)

my_data <- data.frame(
  Hemodialysis = c(0, 0, 1),
  Creatinine = c(1.2, 0.9, 1.5),
  Bilirubin = c(0.7, 1.1, 0.9),
  INR = c(1.0, 1.2, 1) 
)

amscorer::meld_pre_2016(my_data) 

MELD Na (prior UNOS/OPTN version)

my_data <- data.frame(
  Creatinine = c(1.2, 2.5, 3),
  Bilirubin = c(0.5, 1.0, 2.1),
  INR = c(1.1, 1.5, 1.8),
  Sodium = c(136, 140, 145),
  Hemodialysis = c(0, 1, 0)
)

amscorer::meld_NA(my_data) 

Intra-operative Distal fistula risk score (D-FRS)

The D-FRS estimates the risk of developing a postoperative pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy.

my_data <- data.frame(
  ID = 1:4,
  BMI = c(20, 25, 30, 10),
  PT = c(5, 43, 1, 20),
  PD_size = c(100, 0, 1, 19),
  OP_time = c(500, 20, 605, 600),
  Texture = c(0, 1, 0, 1)
)

amscorer::io_DFRS(my_data)

Preoperative distal fistula risk score score (D-FRS)

The D-FRS estimates the risk of developing a postoperative pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy.

my_data <- data.frame(
  ID = 1:4,
  PT = c(5, 43, 3, 4),
  PD_size = c(25, 5, 4, 19)
)

amscorer::preop_DFRS(my_data)

Alternative Fistula Risk Score for Pancreatoduodenectomy (a-FRS):

The a-FRS assesses the risk of developing a postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD).

my_data <- data.frame(
  ID = 1:4,
  Texture = c(0, 1, 0,0),
  BMI = c(22, 25, 30 , 20),
  PD_size = c(5, 10, 1,2)
)

amscorer::a_FRS(my_data)

updated Alternative Fistula Risk Score for Pancreatoduodenectomy (ua-FRS):

Alternative Fistula Risk Score for Pancreatoduodenectomy (a-FRS) is designed to predict the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD).

my_data <- data.frame(
  ID = 1:4,
  Sex = c(0, 0, 1,1),
  Texture = c(0, 1, 0,0),
  BMI = c(22, 25, 30 , 20),
  PD_size = c(5, 10, 1,2)
)
