Functional Status Scale Categories

Description

Mapping FSS Total scores (integer values) to categorical values.

Usage

fss_as_factor(x, long_label = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

an integer vector
long_label

logical if the score range should be prepended to the label.
...

not currently used.

Details

FSS scores are integer values from 6 to 30.

The a mapping of ranges of integer values to categories is

  • FSS 6, 7: Good

  • FSS 8, 9: Mildly abnormal

  • FSS 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15: Moderately abnormal

  • FSS 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21: Severe abnormal

  • FSS 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30: Very severely abnormal

Value

A factor of equal length to the input x with labels for the categorical ranges of FSS.

Examples

x <- seq(5, 32)
data.frame(x           = x,
           short_label = fss_as_factor(x),
           long_label  = fss_as_factor(x, long_label = TRUE))

## S3 method for class 'numeric'
gcs_as_factor(x, scale, long_label = FALSE, highest_first = FALSE, ...)

gcs_ll

Arguments

x

a integer, factor, or character vector.
scale

a character string to denote eye, motor, or verbal GCS scale.
...

not currently used.
long_label

logical to prepend the numeric value to the label of a factor.
highest_first

logical if the factor levels should be ordered with the highest GCS score as the reference level, else the lowest GCS score as the reference level.

Format

An object of class list of length 3.

Value

gcs_as_factor returns a factor of equal length to x.

gcs_as_integer returns an integer vector of equal length to x.

1/0 Flags

Description

Turns Yes/No variables into 1/0 integers

Usage

onezero(x)

Arguments

x

a character vector

Details

The input is forced to lowercase and only the first character, the "y" or "n", is used to map to the 1/0 integer values. The function allows for "1" and "0" to be in the character vector as well.

Value

an integer vector

Examples

flag <- c("Y", "No", "NO", "no", "n", "YES", "Yes", "yEs", "1", "0")
onezero(flag)

PEDALFAST Data

Description

Single data frame for the PEDALFAST data.

Usage

pedalfast

Format

An object of class data.frame with 388 rows and 103 columns.

Details

pedalfast is one data frame with the whole of the exported data.

See Also

vignette("datasets", package = "pedalfast.data")

PEDALFAST factor

Description

A flavor of the base function factor but aimed to use specific default values for levels and labels based on the information in the pedalfast_metadata object.

Usage

pedalfast_factor(x, variable, label_with_level = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

a vector of data
variable

character string identifying the variable name in pedalfast_metadata defining the levels and labels for the factor.
label_with_level

(default to FALSE) labels will include the integer value. See examples.
...

not currently used.

Value

An object of class factor

Round Age

Description

Round age per FITBIR guidelines

Usage

round_age(x, type = "character")

Arguments

x

a numeric vector
type

defaults to character (default), also accepts numeric.

Details

FITBIR Definition for the "AgeYrs" data element: Value for participant's subject age, calculated as elapsed time since the birth of the participant/subject in years. The subjects age is typically recorded to the nearest full year completed, e.g. 11 years and 6 months should be recorded as 11 years.

Guidelines & Instructions: The subject's age is typically recorded to the nearest full year completed, e.g. 11 years and 6 months should be recorded as 11 years. For subject's which are under 1 year old, use decimal points and use the following convention- record 1 month as 0.083 (1/12), 2 months as 0.166 (2/12), 3 months as 0.25 (3/12), 4 months as 0.333 (4/12), 5 months as 0.416 (5/12), 6 months as 0.5 (6/12), 7 months as 0.583 (7/12), 8 months as 0.666 (8/12), 9 months as 0.75 (9/12), 10 months as 0.833 (10/12), 11 months as 0.916 (11/12) and 12 months as 1 year. For the individuals 90 or older, in order to preserve PII, please submit "150" and make a note this in the "general notes" column.

Value

a character or numeric vector depending on the value of type.

Examples

ages <- c(92, 12.12, 89 + 10/12, 9.12, 9.73, 1.1, 1.75, ( 1:11 + 0.05 ) / 12,
2, 90)
