< p > REDCap database casting and handling of castellated data when using repeated instruments and longitudinal projects.< / p >
2023-12-20 14:51:06 +01:00
< p > This package is a fork of < a href = "https://github.com/pegeler/REDCapRITS" class = "external-link" > pegeler/REDCapRITS< / a > . The REDCapRITS represents great and extensive work to handle castellated REDCap data in different programming languages. This fork is purely minded on R usage and includes a few implementations of the main < code > REDCap_split< / code > function.< / p >
2024-02-27 12:56:38 +01:00
< p > This package is very much to be seen as an attempt at a R-to-REDCap-to-R foundry for handling both the transition from dataset/variable list to database and the other way, from REDCap database to a tidy dataset. The goal was also to allow for a “minimal data” approach by allowing to filter records, instruments and variables in the export to only download data needed. I think this approach is desirable for handling sensitive, clinical data. Please refer to < a href = "https://redcap-tools.github.io/" class = "external-link" > REDCap-Tools< / a > for other great tools for working with REDCap in R.< / p >
