Create a dthcaus_source Object

dthcaus_source(
  dataset_name,
  filter,
  date,
  mode = "first",
  dthcaus,
  traceability_vars = NULL,
  dataset = deprecated()
)

`dataset_name`	The name of the dataset, i.e. a string, used to search for the death cause.
`filter`	An expression used for filtering `dataset`.
`date`	A character vector to be used for sorting `dataset`.
`mode`	One of `"first"` or `"last"`. Either the `"first"` or `"last"` observation is preserved from the `dataset` which is ordered by `date`.
`dthcaus`	A variable name or a string literal — if a variable name, e.g., `AEDECOD`, it is the variable in the source dataset to be used to assign values to `DTHCAUS`; if a string literal, e.g. `"Adverse Event"`, it is the fixed value to be assigned to `DTHCAUS`.
`traceability_vars`	A named list returned by `vars()` listing the traceability variables, e.g. `vars(DTHDOM = "DS", DTHSEQ = DSSEQ)`. The left-hand side (names of the list elements) gives the names of the traceability variables in the returned dataset. The right-hand side (values of the list elements) gives the values of the traceability variables in the returned dataset. These can be either strings or symbols referring to existing variables.
`dataset`	Deprecated, please use `dataset_name` instead.
