Adds a record for BMI/Body Mass Index using Weight and Height each by group (e.g., subject and visit) where the source parameters are available.

Usage

derive_param_bmi(
  dataset,
  by_vars,
  set_values_to = exprs(PARAMCD = "BMI"),
  weight_code = "WEIGHT",
  height_code = "HEIGHT",
  get_unit_expr,
  filter = NULL
)

Arguments

dataset

Input dataset

The variables specified by the by_vars parameter, PARAMCD, and AVAL are expected.

The variable specified by by_vars and PARAMCD must be a unique key of the input dataset after restricting it by the filter condition (filter parameter) and to the parameters specified by weight_code and height_code.

by_vars

Grouping variables

For each group defined by by_vars an observation is added to the output dataset. Only variables specified in by_vars will be populated in the newly created records.

Permitted Values: list of variables

set_values_to

Variables to be set

The specified variables are set to the specified values for the new observations. For example exprs(PARAMCD = "MAP") defines the parameter code for the new parameter.

Permitted Values: List of variable-value pairs

weight_code

WEIGHT parameter code

The observations where PARAMCD equals the specified value are considered as the WEIGHT. It is expected that WEIGHT is measured in kg

Permitted Values: character value

height_code

HEIGHT parameter code

The observations where PARAMCD equals the specified value are considered as the HEIGHT. It is expected that HEIGHT is measured in cm

Permitted Values: character value

get_unit_expr

An expression providing the unit of the parameter

The result is used to check the units of the input parameters.

Permitted Values: A variable of the input dataset or a function call

filter

Filter condition

The specified condition is applied to the input dataset before deriving the new parameter, i.e., only observations fulfilling the condition are taken into account.

Permitted Values: a condition

Value

The input dataset with the new parameter added. Note, a variable will only be populated in the new parameter rows if it is specified in by_vars.

Details

The analysis value of the new parameter is derived as $$BMI = \frac{WEIGHT}{HEIGHT^2}$$
