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: give each questionnaire its treatment period (APERIOD), next to
where it was completed (SOURCE), its sequence number (QSSEQ) and its date
(QSDT).
Input: questionnaires completed at clinic visits, questionnaires completed on an electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) device, which store their fields in a different order, and a table giving each subject's treatment periods, each from a first to a last day.
Variables:
SOURCEwould beCLINICfor a questionnaire completed at a visit andEPROfor one completed on the device.APERIODwould be the number of the subject's period whose first and last days, both inclusive, hold the questionnaire's own date, and blank when no period does.
Note: a device questionnaire is placed by a value of the device row itself: a field of the device record the row was built from, or a column built for that row. The date is taken from a clinic record instead, which a device row does not have, so the run is rejected before any data is read; no artifact is accepted.
How to fix
Decide which date places a device questionnaire; usually it is the date the device recorded. Read that date from the device record the row is built from, as the clinic template reads its own record:
between: {value: EPRO.QSDT, lower: APERSDT, upper: APEREDT}
Or name the column QSDT, which each template already fills from its own
record: a bare name reads that column of the row.
