Helper function to support configuration of a Clinical Timelines module.

Usage

set_event(
  start_dt_var,
  end_dt_var = NULL,
  start_dy_var = NULL,
  end_dy_var = NULL,
  detail_var = NULL
)

Arguments

start_dt_var

Character name of the variable that contains either the event start dates (for interval events) or merely timepoints (e.g. milestones). The variable name must be present in the data frame under which the event is listed.

end_dt_var

Character name of the variable that contains the event end dates. Needs to be provided for interval events, but set to NULL for timepoints. The variable name must be present in the data frame under which the event is listed.

start_dy_var

Similar to start_dt_var, but refers to the study relative days (instead of dates). The variable name must be present in the dataset under which the event is listed. Can be set to NULL to let the module calculate the study days according to SDTM standard rules.

end_dy_var

Similar to end_dt_var, but refers to the study relative days (instead of dates). The variable name must be present in the dataset under which the event is listed. Can be set to NULL to let the module calculate the study days according to SDTM standard rules.

detail_var

Character name of the variable that contains further descriptive information that shall be displayed for the event. Can be set to NULL for no further information.

Value

A list that could directly be used as third level list for the mapping

parameter of mod_clinical_timelines() and mod_clinical_timelines_server().
