createSelectControlsArgs: Create a parameter object for the function selectControls

In OHDSI/CaseControl: Case-Control

Create a parameter object for the function selectControls

Description

Create a parameter object for the function selectControls

Usage

createSelectControlsArgs(
  firstOutcomeOnly = TRUE,
  washoutPeriod = 180,
  controlSelectionCriteria = createMatchingCriteria(),
  minAge = NULL,
  maxAge = NULL
)

Arguments

firstOutcomeOnly	Use the first outcome per person?
washoutPeriod	Minimum required numbers of days of observation for inclusion as either case or control.
controlSelectionCriteria	Either a matchingCriteria object as generated using the createMatchingCriteria function, or a samplingCriteria object as generated using the createSamplingCriteria function.
minAge	Minimum age at which patient time will be included in the analysis. Note that information prior to the min age is still used to determine exposure status after the minimum age (e.g. when a prescription was started just prior to reaching the minimum age). Also, outcomes occurring before the minimum age is reached will be considered as prior outcomes when using first outcomes only. Age should be specified in years, but non-integer values are allowed. If not specified, no age restriction will be applied.
maxAge	Maximum age at which patient time will be included in the analysis. Age should be specified in years, but non-integer values are allowed. If not specified, no age restriction will be applied.

Details
