Overview

About

Maintained by Martijn SchuemieCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Execute the self-controlled case series (SCCS) design using observational data in the OMOP Common Data Model. Extracts all necessary data from the database and transforms it to the format required for SCCS. Age and season can be modeled using splines assuming constant hazard within calendar months. Event-dependent censoring of the observation period can be corrected for. Many exposures can be included at once (MSCCS), with regularization on all coefficients except for the exposure of interest. Includes diagnostics for all major assumptions of the SCCS.

Changes in 6.1.5

Bugfixes

1. Fixed confidence interval upper bound displayed for the event-observation dependence diagnostic.

2. Fixed missing entries in the sccs_covariate table when there is no data.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("SelfControlledCaseSeries", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("OHDSI/SelfControlledCaseSeries")

Development version from OHDSI/SelfControlledCaseSeries. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-selfcontrolledcaseseries

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-SelfControlledCaseSeries

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-SelfControlledCaseSeries

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
