Usage

establish_dx_date(df, diagnosis_established = "diagnosis")

Arguments

df

data frame of claims created by a get_*_ICD function

Value

A data frame filtered to keep the claim which establishes that a diagnosis has been made

Examples

if (FALSE) {
cryptococcus_icd <- c("1175", "B45")

# Retrieve claims for all patients in selected years
result <- get_IN_ICD(icd_codes = cryptococcus_icd, years = 2013:2018)

establish_dx_date(result)
}
