Figure 1.2.4: Percentage of Respondents Who Had a Mixed Change Overall, by Dimension Improved or Worsened, Grouped by Procedure (or Other Grouping)

Description

This function focuses on patients classified as having "Mixed change" overall (i.e., some dimensions improved, others worsened). It then examines which dimensions improved vs. worsened for each subject. Results are summarized by a grouping variable (e.g., procedure) and time points. The final output is a table plus a ggplot object.

Usage

figure_1_2_4(
  df,
  name_id,
  name_groupvar,
  names_eq5d = NULL,
  name_fu = NULL,
  levels_fu = NULL
)

Arguments

df	Data frame containing columns for EQ-5D dimensions, a grouping variable, a patient ID, and a follow-up variable
name_id	Character string indicating the patient ID column
name_groupvar	Character string for the grouping column (e.g. "procedure")
names_eq5d	Character vector naming the EQ-5D dimensions (e.g. c("mo","sc","ua","pd","ad"))
name_fu	Character string for the follow-up column (e.g. "time")
levels_fu	Character vector of length 2 specifying the time order (e.g. c("Pre-op","Post-op"))

Value

A list with two elements:

plot_data	A wide-format data frame of dimension-specific improvements/worsenings for "Mixed change"
p	A ggplot2 object showing a dimension-level bar chart from .pchc_plot_by_dim

Examples

result <- figure_1_2_4(
  df = example_data,
  name_id = "id",
  name_groupvar = "procedure",
  names_eq5d = c("mo","sc","ua","pd","ad"),
  name_fu = "time",
  levels_fu = c("Pre-op","Post-op")
)
result$plot_data
result$p
