In OHDSI/IcTemporalPatternDiscovery: IC Temporal Pattern Discovery

IC Temporal Pattern Discovery

Introduction

This R package is an implementation of the IC Temporal Pattern Discovery method to estimate risk by combining a self-controlled and cohort design. It is designed to run against observational databases in the OMOP Common Data Model.

Features

• Extracts the necessary data from a database in OMOP Common Data Model format.
• Supports various risk and control window definitions.
• Create Chronographs to explore time-to-event relationships.

Example

library(IcTemporalPatternDiscovery)

connectionDetails <- createConnectionDetails(dbms = "postgresql",
                                             user = "joe",
                                             password = "secret",
                                             server = "myserver")

exposureOutcomePairs = data.frame(outcomeId = c(196794, 196794, 312648), 
                                  exposurId = c(1501700, 1545958, 1551803))

ictpdData <- getDbIctpdData(connectionDetails, 
                            cdmDatabaseSchema = "cdm_schema.dbo", 
                            exposureOutcomePairs = exposureOutcomePairs)

ictpdResults <- calculateStatisticsIC(ictpdData)

ictpdResults
