CohortCharacteristics contains functions for summarising characteristics of cohorts of patients identified in an OMOP CDM dataset. Once a cohort table has been created, CohortCharacteristics provides a number of functions to help provide a summary of the characteristics of the individuals within the cohort.
You can install the latest version of CohortCharacteristics from CRAN:
Or from github:
The CohortCharacteristics package is designed to work with data in the OMOP CDM format, so our first step is to create a reference to the data using the CDMConnector package. For this example we will work with the example Eunomia dataset.
We can see that in this example data we have a cohort table called cohort1.
