  numThread)

Arguments

connectionDetails	The connection details.
cdmDatabaseSchema	Name of CDM database schema.
resultsDatabaseSchema	Name of results database schema.
cid2Rm	Concept Ids to remove before matching.
outCome	Outcome Id of interest, for which the analysis need to be performed.

Details

This function can be used to perform the drug efficacy analysis. Very briefly, this function a) obtain treatment and comparator cohorts from target schema b) perform patient-level propensity score matching c) perform cox-proportional hazard modeling of the given outcome. Please note this function can only performe analysis if there are > 150 patients in both treatment and comparator cohorts. Right now I've hard coded these values. May be in the future we'll see how to generalize this.
