Examples of how to connect your database using CDMConnector can be found here: https://darwin-eu.github.io/CDMConnector/articles/a04_DBI_connection_examples.html \ Here we use the internal mock database. ```{r} cdm <- mockDrugExposure() ``` ### Drug(s) of interest In the DrugExposureDiagnostics package, all the diagnostics are conducted on ingredient level, and if requested, additionally on drug level. We will use the ingredient "acetaminophen" as an example.\ Here is a brief look at this ingredient. +------------------+---------------+ | Property | Value | +------------------+---------------+ | Concept Name | acetaminophen | +------------------+---------------+ | Domain ID | Drug | +------------------+---------------+ | Concept Class ID | Ingredient | +------------------+---------------+ | Vocabulary ID | RxNorm | +------------------+---------------+ | Concept ID | 1125315 | +------------------+---------------+ | Concept code | 161 | +------------------+---------------+ | Validity | Valid | +------------------+---------------+ | Concept | Standard | +------------------+---------------+ | Valid start | 01-Jan-1970 | +------------------+---------------+ | Valid end | 31-Dec-2099 | +------------------+---------------+ ### Running the diagnostics We can run all available checks at the same time using the ´executeChecks()´ function. This will return a list which contains the results of each check.\ Multiple ingredients can be added in the vector of ´ingredients´ ```{r executeChecks} all_checks <- executeChecks(cdm, ingredients = c(1125315), subsetToConceptId = NULL, checks = c( "missing", "exposureDuration", "type", "route", "sourceConcept", "daysSupply", "verbatimEndDate", "dose", "sig", "quantity", "diagnosticsSummary" ), minCellCount = 5, sample = 10000, tablePrefix = NULL, earliestStartDate = "2010-01-01", verbose = FALSE, byConcept = TRUE ) ``` The `cdm` is the database reference of the OMOP CDM using the `CDMConnector` package. The `ingredients` is a list of ingredients of interests, by default it is 1125315 for acetaminophen. The `subsetToConceptId` vector of concept IDs of the ingredients to filter. If a concept ID is positive it will be included, a negative one will be excluded. If NULL, all concept IDs for an ingredient will be considered. `checks` allows to select the checks to be executed, by default the missing values, the exposure duration and the quantity checks will be run. The `minCellCount` is minimum number of events to report, numbers lower than this will be obscured. `sample` is the number of samples, by default, 10.000 drug record samples will be used. The `tablePrefix` is an optional value for database tables that will be created during executeChecks. `earliestStartDate` is the earliest data from which drug records will be included. `verbose` is a parameter that enables the printing of messages to the console. `byConcept` is a boolean that determines if only overall results should be returned or also by drug concept.\ The check "missing" outputs the `missingValuesOverall` if `byConcept = FALSE` and additionally `missingValuesbyConcept` if `byConcept = TRUE` \ The check "exposureDuration" outputs the `drugExposureDurationOverall` if `byConcept = FALSE` and additionally `drugExposureDurationbyConcept` if `byConcept = TRUE` \ The check "type" outputs the `drugTypesOverall` if `byConcept = FALSE` and additionally `drugTypesbyConcept` if `byConcept = TRUE` \ The check "route" outputs the `drugRoutesOverall` if `byConcept = FALSE` and additionally `drugRoutesbyConcept` if `byConcept = TRUE` \ The check "sourceConcept" outputs the `sourceConceptsOverall` (which is actually the drug concept level. It disregards the `byConcept` argument because only the drug concept level makes sense here) \ The check "daysSupply" outputs the `drugDaysSupplyOverall` if `byConcept = FALSE` and additionally `drugDaysSupplybyConcept` if `byConcept = TRUE` \ The check "verbatimEndDate" outputs the `drugVerbatimEndDate` if `byConcept = FALSE` and additionally `drugVerbatimEndDatebyConcept` if `byConcept = TRUE` \ The check "dose" outputs the `drugDoseOverall` (output only on ingredient level. It disregards the `byConcept` argument because only the drug concept level makes sense here) \ The check "sig" outputs the `drugSig` if `byConcept = FALSE` and additionally `drugSigbyConcept` if `byConcept = TRUE` \ The check "quantity" outputs the `drugQuantity` if `byConcept = FALSE` and additionally `drugQuantitybyConcept` if `byConcept = TRUE` \ The check "diagnosticsSummary" outputs a summary called `diagnosticsSummary` \ Here, we see the files created: ```{r} names(all_checks) ``` ### Assessing the drug concepts (of interest) The first item shown, the `conceptSummary` is not the output from a check but always output. This table is used within the function as an input for all the requested checks. It contains information from the CONCEPT table and DRUG_STRENGTH table. \ The `conceptSummary` has several use: \ It can be quickly seen whether a certain drug is mapped on ingredient level. Thereby, the drug_concept_id and ingredient_concept_id are identical.\ Furthermore, the `conceptSummary` can be used to make decisions about further refine the concept list. For example, though the argument `subsetToConceptId` in the `executeChecks()` function, the selected concepts can be requested or eliminated.\ The `conceptSummary` in the case of acetaminophen with `subsetToConceptId = NULL`, the following drug concepts are part of the diagnostics investigation. ```{r, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE } datatable(all_checks$conceptSummary, rownames = FALSE ) ``` | Column | Description | :------------- | :------------- | drug_concept_id | ID of the drug concept. | drug | Name of the drug concept. | ingredient_concept_id | Concept ID of ingredient. | ingredient | Name of drug ingredient for which the checks have been performed. | n_records | Number of records for drug concept. | domain_id | From the CONCEPT table. A foreign key to the domain table the drug concept belongs to. | vocabulary_id | From the CONCEPT table. A foreign key to the vocabulary table indicating from which source the drug concept has been adapted. | concept_class_id | From the CONCEPT table.

The RxNorm dose form associated with the drug concept. | result_obscured | TRUE if count has been suppressed due to being below the minimum cell count, otherwise FALSE. | ### Saving the diagnostic output After running the checks, we can write the created outputs (CSV files) into a zip file to disk using the `writeResultToDisk()` function. The zip created from using the `writeResultToDisk()` function serves as the input for the corresponding Shiny Application. \ Please replace the "your_database" with the name of your database. Create your designated "output_folder" at your desired location and put the path if not the working directory. ```{r eval=FALSE} writeResultToDisk(all_checks, databaseId = "your_database", outputFolder = "output_folder" ) ``` ### View results in the Shiny app & make it available for publishing ```{r eval=FALSE} viewResults( dataFolder = file.path(getwd(), "output_folder"), makePublishable = TRUE, publishDir = file.path(getwd(), "MyStudyResultsExplorer"), overwritePublishDir = TRUE ) ``` ```{r, echo=FALSE} DBI::dbDisconnect(attr(cdm, "dbcon"), shutdown = TRUE) ```
