admiralpeds

Pediatrics extension package for ADaM in R Asset Library admiral

Purpose

To provide a complementary (to admiral) toolbox that enables users to develop specifics for pediatric clinical trials.

Installation

To install the latest development version of the package directly from GitHub use the following code:

if (!requireNamespace("remotes", quietly = TRUE)) {
  install.packages("remotes")
}

remotes::install_github("pharmaverse/admiraldev") # This is a required dependency of {admiralpeds}
remotes::install_github("pharmaverse/admiral") # This is a required dependency of {admiralpeds}
remotes::install_github("pharmaverse/admiralpeds")

Dependencies

The latest version of the package works with the latest versions of the packages stated in DESCRIPTION.

If a previous version of the package should be used, it is recommended to use latest version of the dependencies at the point of time when the previous version of {admiralpeds} was released.

Scope

  • Build a toolbox of re-usable functions and utilities to create pediatrics-specific ADaM datasets in R in a modular manner.
  • All functions are created based upon the ADaM Implementation Guide and aim to facilitate the programming of ADaM dataset standards.
  • Initially the package will focus on child growth/development charts.

Expectations

admiralpeds is expected to complement admiral and provide functions to help with the creation of analyses required for pediatric trial ADaMs.

R Versions

Here’s a summary of our strategy for this package related to R versions:

  • R versions for developers and users will follow the same as admiral core package.
  • For development the main branch of admiral core is used as a dependency. For releasing a new admiralpeds version it must run using the latest released admiral core version.
