modify_table_body: Modify Table Body

In ddsjoberg/gtsummary: Presentation-Ready Data Summary and Analytic Result Tables

Modify Table Body

Description

Function is for advanced manipulation of gtsummary tables. It allow users to modify the .$table_body data frame included in each gtsummary object.

If a new column is added to the table, default printing instructions will then be added to .$table_styling. By default, columns are hidden. To show a column, add a column header with modify_header() or call modify_column_unhide().

Usage

modify_table_body(x, fun, ...)

Arguments

x	(gtsummary) A 'gtsummary' object
fun	(function) A function or formula. If a function, it is used as is. If a formula, e.g. fun = ~ .x |> arrange(variable), it is converted to a function. The argument passed to fun is x$table_body.
...	Additional arguments passed on to the function

Value

A 'gtsummary' object

Examples

# Example 1 --------------------------------
# Add number of cases and controls to regression table
trial |>
 tbl_uvregression(
   y = response,
   include = c(age, marker),
   method = glm,
   method.args = list(family = binomial),
   exponentiate = TRUE,
   hide_n = TRUE
 ) |>
 # adding number of non-events to table
 modify_table_body(
   ~ .x %>%
     dplyr::mutate(N_nonevent = N_obs - N_event) |>
     dplyr::relocate(c(N_event, N_nonevent), .before = estimate)
 ) |>
 # assigning header labels
 modify_header(N_nonevent = "**Control N**", N_event = "**Case N**") |>
 modify_fmt_fun(c(N_event, N_nonevent) ~ style_number)
