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
README.mdPublic entries: Python and R. Passing coverage requires an installed inventory.
Goal: record each subject's date of death (DTHDT) and
last-visit study day (LSTVSDY) from collected demographics, and
keep the earlier of the two in FSTALVDT as the first known alive
date.
Input: collected demographics carrying a death date-time
(DTHDTC) and the last-visit study day (LSTVSDY).
Variables:
DTHDTwould be the date of death taken fromDTHDTC, missing when no death was recorded.LSTVSDYwould be the study day of the last visit, counting days, not dates.FSTALVDTwould be the first known alive date: the earlier of the death date and the last-visit date, or the one present when the other is missing. A calendar date and a day count have no common order, so there is no earlier of the two: the run is rejected before any data is read and no artifact is accepted.
How to fix
Decide which date the study reports, then state it in dates. Take
the last contact from the date the visit was collected on, read into
a date column (LSTCONDT here), not from its study day, so both
sides are dates:
- name: FSTALVDT
type: date
derivation:
least:
sources: [DTHDT, LSTCONDT]
When only the day count exists, keep the count as a count instead of forcing it into a date column.
