make_anesthes_other_long: Convert anesthes_other column from wide to long format

In dylanrussellmd/nsqipr: Interact with NSQIP data via R

Convert anesthes_other column from wide to long format

Description

Convert anesthes_other column from wide to long format

Usage

make_anesthes_other_long(df)

Arguments

df

a data.table If "anesthes_other" is a column in df, it will be broken into a long format with caseid as the ID variable for joining back to the main table. This is because many of the NSQIP PUF datasets input multiple values into a single "anesthes_other" column. For example, "General, Spinal, MAC/IV Sedation" may be an entry in the raw data set. This makes parsing for patients that received "Spinal" anesthesia at any point, for example, very difficult. Note that this does not alter the "anesthes" column or include the anesthetic technique stored in the "anesthes" column in the resulting "anesthes_other" data table.

Value

a data.table

Examples

x <- data.table::data.table(
anesthes_other = c("General","General, Spinal", "General, Spinal, MAC/IV Sedation", NA)
)
nsqipr:::make_anesthes_other_cols(x)
