import_motor_scores: Import UPDRS/MDS-UPDRS motor scores.

In nzbri/chchpd: Manage and Manipulate Christchurch Parkinson's Studies Data

Import UPDRS/MDS-UPDRS motor scores.

Description

import_motor_scores Import the total Part III motor score and the Hoehn & Yahr stage from the UPDRS/MDS-UPDRS datasets

Usage

import_motor_scores()

Details

At the beginnining of the study, the original 1987 UPDRS was still in use. This function in turn calls the import_old_UPDRS function that will import data from that assessment and scale it using an established method so that the Part III total becomes comparable to the Part III MDS-UPDRS total from later sessions. For scaling details, see Goetz et al. 2012. Mov Disorders, 27(10):1239-1242

To bind the two datasets, we need to drop all but the summary scores. If you want access to individual items scores, use the individual functions import_old_UPDRS or import_MDS_UPDRS

Value

A dataframe containing the motor score information.

Examples

## Not run: 
updrs <- import_motor_scores()
