Abstract

This check assesses how much clinical data is available for patients. It provides a screen shot of clinical data for a multiple sites.

Probe

Clinical Assessment

Access Package

# install.packages("devtools") devtools::install_github('ssdqa/https://github.com/ssdqa/patientfacts')

Visualization Output

This check outputs a dot plot showing the median number of facts per patient for each site (domain along the y-axis with the median fact count along the x-axis). Each dot indicates a site value, while the star icon represents the overall median. Hovering over the graph provides values for each data point including the site name and the total number of observed patients with a fact.

Raw Output

The raw data output of this check produces ten columns of data:

Column Data Type Definition
study character a user provided string label for the study
site character the name of the site being targeted
visit_type character string indicating the visit type
domain character string indicating the domain
median_all_with0s numeric overall median facts per year of follow up across the cohort, including patients that do not have evidence of the domain
median_all_without0s numeric overall median facts per year of follow up across the cohort, excluding patients that do not have evidence of the domain
n_tot numeric total number of patients in the cohort
n_w_fact numeric number of patients in the cohort with a fact in the domain of interest
median_site_with0s numeric site-specific median facts per year of follow up across the cohort, including patients that do not have evidence of the domain
median_site_without0s numeric site-specific median facts per year of follow up across the cohort, excluding patients that do not have evidence of the domain

Study-Specific Quality, Utility, and Breadth Assessment
Created:2025-11Affiliation:PEDSnet Data Coordinating Center
This suite of R packages allows one to investigate multiple facets of data quality and customize analyses based on your study-specific needs. Each module allows up to 8 different analyses in either the OMOP or PCORnet CDM, all aimed at taking a different view of the data while still addressing the same data quality probe.
