soft2: SOFT score from P-SOFT

In transplantr: Audit and Research Functions for Transplantation

Description

A vectorised function to calculate SOFT Scores for predicting patient survival after liver transplantation when the P-SOFT score is already known. The P-SOFT Score can be calculated using the transplantr::p_soft() function. Alternatively, the SOFT Score can be calculated in full, including the P-SOFT parameters using the transplantr::soft() function. The units for donor serum creatinine are in µmol/l but can be changed to mg/dl by setting the Units parameter to "US".

Usage

soft2(PSoft, PortalBleed, DonorAge, DonorCVA, DonorSCr, National, CIT,
  Units = "SI")

Arguments

PSoft	numeric vector of P-SOFT scores
PortalBleed	numeric vector of whether portal bleeding in 48 hours pre-transplant (1 = "yes", 0 = "no")
DonorAge	numeric vector of donor ages in years
DonorCVA	numeric vector of whether donor cause of death is CVA/stroke (1 = "yes", 0 = "no")
DonorSCr	numeric vector of donor terminal serum creatinine
National	numeric vector of whether national allocation (1 = "yes", 0 = "no")
CIT	numeric vector of cold ischaemic time in hours
Units	units to use for creatinine, "SI" (default) for µmol/l, "US" for mg/dl

Value

numeric vector of SOFT Scores

Examples

soft2(PSoft = 4, PortalBleed = 0, DonorAge = 61, DonorCVA = 1, DonorSCr = 140,
    National = 1, CIT = 12) # 13
