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: show for each adverse event the reported term (AETERM),
the coded term (AEDECOD), and the two safety groupings
(SMQ01NAM, SMQ01CD, SMQ02NAM, SMQ02CD).
Input: collected adverse events carrying the reported term
(AETERM) and the coded term (AEDECOD), plus a query dictionary
carrying each coded term (TERM) under a grouping name (GRPNAME)
with code (GRPID) and place (PREFIX).
Variables:
SMQ01NAMwould be the name from the dictionary entry whose place isSMQ01and whose term matches the coded term; blank when no entry matches.SMQ01CDwould be the code from that sameSMQ01entry; missing when no entry matches.SMQ02NAMwould be the name from the dictionary entry whose place isSMQ02and whose term matches the coded term; blank when no entry matches.SMQ02CDwould be the code from that sameSMQ02entry; missing when no entry matches.
Note: one place holds one grouping. A coded term claimed by two dictionary entries in the same place has no single answer: choosing either entry would drop the other, and which one was dropped would depend on the order the dictionary happened to be stored in. The run is therefore rejected and no artifact is accepted.
How to fix
First decide how many queries the study reports. Every query the study
analyses needs a place of its own, so move the second query claiming the
term, Hypersensitivity, from SMQ01 to the next free place:
PREFIX,GRPNAME,GRPID,SCOPE,TERM
SMQ03,Hypersensitivity,20000214,BROAD,STEVENS-JOHNSON SYNDROME
A new place needs its own lookup and its own SMQ03NAM and SMQ03CD,
because how many groupings an artifact carries is fixed when the study rules
are written and not when the dictionary is read. Do not resolve the clash by
keeping whichever query is stored first: it answers with a query the study did
not choose, and it stops reporting the other one at all.
