Derive Total Treatment Duration (Days)

Source: R/derive_var_trtdurd.R
derive_var_trtdurd.Rd

Derives total treatment duration (days) (TRTDURD).

Note: This is a wrapper function for the more generic derive_vars_duration().

Usage

derive_var_trtdurd(dataset, start_date = TRTSDT, end_date = TRTEDT)

Arguments

dataset

Input dataset

The variables specified by the start_date and end_date arguments are expected to be in the dataset.

start_date

The start date

A date or date-time object is expected.

Refer to derive_vars_dt() to impute and derive a date from a date character vector to a date object.

Default: TRTSDT

end_date

The end date

A date or date-time object is expected.

Refer to derive_vars_dt() to impute and derive a date from a date character vector to a date object.

Default: TRTEDT

Value

The input dataset with TRTDURD added

Details

The total treatment duration is derived as the number of days from start to end date plus one.
