Recode medication variables for cycles 3-6 (long format)

Recodes medication variables from cycles 3-6 long-format data (one row per medication per respondent), aggregates to one row per respondent, and merges into the main cycle dataset. Wraps recodeflow::rec_with_table() and aggregate_meds_by_person().

Usage

recode_meds_cycles3to6(
  data,
  meds_data,
  variables,
  by = "clinicid",
  meds_database_name = NULL,
  variable_details = chmsflow::variable_details
)

Arguments

data

data.frame Main cycle data to merge medication variables into.

meds_data

data.frame Long-format medication data (cycles 3-6) with columns clinicid, meucatc, and npi_25b.

variables

character Medication variable names to derive (e.g., "any_htn_med").

by

character Respondent identifier column. Default is "clinicid".

meds_database_name

character Name of the meds database in variable_details. Defaults to the name of the meds_data argument. Override when passing a transformed object (e.g., head()).

variable_details

data.frame Variable details table. Defaults to chmsflow::variable_details.

Value

data.frame data with derived medication variables merged in as numeric columns.

Examples

result <- recode_meds_cycles3to6(
  cycle3,
  cycle3_meds,
  c("any_htn_med", "diab_med")
)
#> Warning:  is missing from variable details therefore cannot be recoded
head(result[, c("clinicid", "any_htn_med", "diab_med")])
#>   clinicid any_htn_med diab_med
#> 1        1           1        1
#> 2        2           1        1
