add_variable_grouping: Group variable summaries

In ddsjoberg/bstfun: Functions for the MSK Biostatistics Department

Group variable summaries

Description

Some data are inherently grouped, and should be reported together. For example, one person likely belongs to multiple racial groups and the results of these tabulations belong in a grouped portion of a summary table.

Grouped variables are all indented together. The label row is a single indent, and the other rows are double indented.

Usage

add_variable_grouping(x, ...)

Arguments

x	a gtsummary table
...	named arguments. The name is the group label that will be inserted into the table. The values are character names of variables that will be grouped

Value

a gtsummary table

Warning

While the returned table is the same class as the input, it does not follow the structure expected in other gtsummary functions that accept these objects: errors may occur.

Example Output

Example 1

Examples

set.seed(11234)
add_variable_grouping_ex1 <-
  data.frame(
    race_asian = sample(c(TRUE, FALSE), 20, replace = TRUE),
    race_black = sample(c(TRUE, FALSE), 20, replace = TRUE),
    race_white = sample(c(TRUE, FALSE), 20, replace = TRUE),
    age = rnorm(20, mean = 50, sd = 10)
  ) %>%
  gtsummary::tbl_summary(
    label = list(race_asian = "Asian",
                 race_black = "Black",
                 race_white = "White",
                 age = "Age")
  ) %>%
  add_variable_grouping(
    "Race (check all that apply)" = c("race_asian", "race_black", "race_white")
  )
