sire - a simulated cohort of Finnish female rectal cancer patients

Description

sire is a simulated cohort pertaining female Finnish rectal cancer patients diagnosed between 1993-2012. Instead of actual original dates, the dates are masked via modest randomization within several time windows.

Format

data.table with columns

• sex - gender of the patient (1 = female)

• bi_date - date of birth

• dg_date - date of cancer diagnosis

• ex_date - date of exit from follow-up (death or censoring)

• status - status of the person at exit; 0 alive; 1 dead due to pertinent cancer; 2 dead due to other causes

• dg_age - age at diagnosis expressed as fractional years

Details

The closing date for the pertinent data was 2012-12-31, meaning status information was available only up to that point — hence the maximum possible ex_date is 2012-12-31.
