<p>REDCap Castellated data handling when using repeated instruments.</p>
<p>This package is a fork of <a href="https://github.com/SpectrumHealthResearch/REDCapRITS" class="external-link">SpectrumHealthResearch/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>
<p>The main goal for this project was 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 desireable for handling sensitive, clinical data. No similar functionality is available from similar tools (like <code>REDCapR</code> or <code>REDCapTidieR</code>). Please refer to <a href="https://redcap-tools.github.io/" class="external-link">REDCap-Tools</a> for other great tools.</p>
<div class="section level2">

</h2>
<p>This package is primarily relevant for working with longitudinal projects and/or projects using repeated instruments. Here is just a short descirption of the main functions:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>REDcap_split()</code>: Works largely as the original <code>REDCapRITS::REDCap_split()</code>. It takes a REDCap dataset and metadata (data dictionary) to split the data set into a list of dataframes of instruments.</p></li>
<li><p><code><a href="reference/read_redcap_tables.html">read_redcap_tables()</a></code>: wraps the use of <a href="https://github.com/OuhscBbmc/REDCapR" class="external-link"><code>REDCapR::redcap_read()</code></a> with <code><a href="reference/REDCap_split.html">REDCap_split()</a></code> to ease the export of REDCap data.</p></li>
<li><p><code><a href="reference/redcap_wider.html">redcap_wider()</a></code>: pivots each data frame with repeated instruments to a wide format utilizing the <a href="https://tidyr.tidyverse.org/reference/pivot_wider.html" class="external-link"><code>tidyr::pivot_wider()</code></a> from the <a href="https://www.tidyverse.org/" class="external-link">tidyverse</a>.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Compared to the original <code>REDCapRITS</code>, all matching functions are improved to accept column naming of REDCap data from manual download or API export.</p>
</div>
<div class="section level2">
<h2 id="future">Future<a class="anchor" aria-label="anchor" href="#future"></a>
</h2>
<p>The plan with this package is to be bundled with a Handbook on working with REDCap from R. I plan to also include functionality to assist in casting (yes, pun intended) the initial REDCap database.</p>
