Review ask

As a clinical trial statistician or programmer, answer two short questions in Your review: the task and the inputs. Agreeing with both approves this benchmark; disagreeing with either needs a comment. Propose a fix with the Edit button on any source file, or add it to your comments.

We suggest spending no more than 5 minutes on a review. The other tabs beside Your review are background for assessment, not under review.

Summary

Lifecycle: draftEditUnder review
What this benchmark means
README.md

Public entries: Python and R. Passing coverage requires an installed inventory.

Goal: derive each adverse event's analysis start date (ASTDT) from the collected start, completing a partial start to the earliest date it allows.

Input: adverse event records, each identified by study, subject and sequence, carrying the collected start (AESTDTC) as ISO 8601 text: a full date, a date whose month is unknown written with a hyphen in its place (2025---15), or a period between two dates (2025-03-01/2025-03-10).

Variables:

  • ASTDT would be the start date: a full date stands, and a start whose month is unknown is completed from its year alone, to 1 January, whatever day was collected. A start recorded as a period between two dates names no single date to complete, so the run is rejected and no artifact is accepted.

How to fix

Decide clinically which date a period of uncertainty stands for. For the earliest possible onset, take the period's first date into its own column before completing it:

- name: ASTDTC
  type: str
  derivation:
    str_extract:
      source: AE.AESTDTC
      pattern: "^[^/]+"

and complete ASTDTC instead of AE.AESTDTC. If an onset recorded as a period should have no analysis date, declare that outcome with invalid: null on impute; it then answers every start that names no single date.
