MTWhoPrimaryOutcomes: Extract Primary Outcomes from WHO trial database

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

View source: R/MTWhoPrimaryOutcomes.R

Description

This method extracts the HTML elements associated with primary outcomes in the WHO trial database, which also pulls in records from additional registries. Primary outcomes are denoted by DataList12 in the HTML table. Multiple entries are tab delimited.
Although the WHO search allows searching multiple registries at once, it is slow, and often times out. Use of MTClinicalTrials is much faster when needed.
