Introduction
In previous vignettes we have seen how to add patient level demographics (age, sex, prior observation, …) or intersections with cohorts , concepts and tables.
Once we have added several columns to our table of interest we may
want to summarise all this data into a summarised_result
object using several different estimates.
Variables type
We support different types of variables, variable type is assigned
using dplyr::type_sum:
Date:
dateordttm.Numeric:
dblordrtn.Integer:
intorint64.Categorical:
chr,fctorord.Logical:
lgl.
Estimates names
We can summarise this data using different estimates:

of sinusitis, and then we added: demographics; the counts of 3
ingredients, any time prior and any time after the index date; a flag
indicating if they had pharyngitis before; date of the first visit; and,
finally, time to next visit.
If we want to summarise the age stratified by sex we could use tidyverse functions like:
x |>
group_by(sex) |>
summarise(mean_age = mean(age), sd_age = sd(age))
#> Warning: Missing values are always removed in SQL aggregation functions.
#> Use `na.rm = TRUE` to silence this warning
#> This warning is displayed once every 8 hours.
#> # Source: SQL [?? x 3]

#> sex mean_age sd_age
#> <chr> <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1 Male 7.72 8.14
#> 2 Female 7.51 7.46This would give us a first insight of the differences of age. But the output is not going to be in an standardised format.
In PatientProfiles we have built a function that:
Allow you to get the standardised output.
You have a wide range of estimates that you can get.
You don’t have to worry which of the functions are supported in the database side (e.g. not all dbms support quantile function).
For example we could get the same information like before using:
