In microdatasus: Download and Process 'DataSUS' Files

Prepare SIM mortality microdata

Description

Recodes supported SIM mortality fields into descriptive values and normalizes escaped Unicode text. Codes without a documented conversion are retained.

Usage

process_sim(data, municipality_data = TRUE)

Arguments

data	A data frame returned by fetch_datasus() for a SIM mortality system, or another data frame with a compatible layout.
municipality_data	Logical scalar. If TRUE, add municipality names and available territorial attributes for supported municipality-code columns.

Details

Columns not explicitly recoded are retained, but Unicode normalization is applied to every column and consequently the returned tibble contains character columns.

Value

A tibble with character columns. Supported codes are replaced with descriptions, and municipality fields are added when requested and available.
