Review ask

As a clinical trial statistician or programmer, challenge anything in this benchmark: describe a problem in Comments, or propose a fix with the Edit button on any source file.

  1. Task: Is this a specification error a study team could realistically make, and should the build stop on it rather than continue?
  2. Inputs: Do they trigger the failure for the reason the summary gives?
  3. Expected failure: Is this the right error, raised at the right point, and would it tell the programmer what to fix?

The other tabs beside Comments are background for assessment, not under review.

Summary

Lifecycle: reviewedEditUnder review
What this benchmark means
README.md

Goal: carry the collected adverse event (AE) start text (AESTDTC) toward ASTDT.

Input: adverse event records, each identified by study, subject, and sequence, carrying reported term (AETERM) and start text (AESTDTC).

Variables:

  • ASTDT: the event start date, which would carry the collected start text (AESTDTC). A start collected to the month only, such as 2023-06, names no single day, and choosing the first, the middle, or the last day would record a day nobody collected. Such text cannot be read as a date, so the run fails and no artifact is accepted.

How to fix

Declare how a partial date is completed. For example, to use the earliest date the collected text permits:

derivation:
  date_impute:
    source: AE.AESTDTC
    month: 1
    day: 1

A complete source date is retained; 2023-06 becomes 2023-06-01.
