Clinical Coding of Patients with Kidney Disease

The epocakir package makes clinical coding of patients with kidney disease using clinical practice guidelines easy. The guidelines used are the evidence-based KDIGO guidelines. This package covers acute kidney injury (AKI), anemia, and chronic kidney disease (CKD):

aki_staging(): Classification of AKI staging (aki_stages) with automatic selection of:
- aki_bCr(): AKI based on baseline creatinine
- aki_SCr(): AKI based on changes in serum creatinine
- aki_UO(): AKI based on urine output
anemia(): Classification of anemia
Classification of albuminuria (Albuminuria_stages)
- Albuminuria_staging_ACR(): Albuminuria based on Albumin excretion rate
- Albuminuria_staging_AER(): Albuminuria based on Albumin-to-creatinine ratio
eGFR(): Estimation of glomerular filtration rate with automatic selection of:
- eGFR_adult_SCr(): eGFR based on the 2009 CKD-EPI creatinine equation
- eGFR_adult_SCysC(): eGFR based on the 2012 CKD-EPI cystatin C equation
- eGFR_adult_SCr_SCysC(): eGFR based on the 2012 CKD-EPI creatinine-cystatin C equation
- eGFR_child_SCr(): eGFR based on the pediatric creatinine-based equation
- eGFR_child_SCr_BUN(): eGFR based on the pediatric creatinine-BUN equation
- eGFR_child_SCysC(): eGFR based on the pediatric cystatin C-based equation
GFR_staging(): Staging of GFR (GFR_stages)
Multiple utility functions including:
- conversion_factors: Conversion factors used throughout the KDIGO guidelines
- as_metric(): Conversion of a measured value into metric units
- dob2age(): Calculation of age from a date of birth
- binary2factor(): Conversion of binary data into factors based on a column name
- combine_date_time_cols(): Combining separate date and time columns into a single date and time column
- combn_changes: Generating changes between measurements

Installation

You can install the released version from CRAN with:

install.packages("epocakir")

You can install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("alwinw/epocakir")

Getting Started

library(epocakir)
library(dplyr)
library(units)

Often clinical data must be cleansed and tidied before analysis can begin. To assist in this, several utility functions have been included. To explore these, consider a sample clinical dataset clinical_obvs:

glimpse(clinical_obvs)
#> Rows: 3
#> Columns: 9
#> $ `Patient Number` <chr> "p10001", "p10002", "p10003"
#> $ `Admission Date` <chr> "2020-03-05", "2020-03-06", "2020-03-17"
#> $ `Admission Time` <chr> "14:01:00", "09:10:00", "12:48:00"

#> $ Discharge_time   <chr> "16:34:00", "18:51:00", "09:12:00"
#> $ `Date of Birth`  <chr> "1956-01-09", "1997-12-04", "1973-05-28"
#> $ Male             <lgl> TRUE, FALSE, TRUE
#> $ Height           <dbl> 182, 161, 168
#> $ Surgery          <lgl> FALSE, FALSE, TRUE

tidy_obvs <- clinical_obvs %>%
  combine_date_time_cols() %>%
  mutate(
    Age = dob2age(`Date of Birth`),
    Height = as_metric(height = set_units(as.numeric(Height), "cm"))
  ) %>%
  binary2factor(Male, Surgery)

glimpse(tidy_obvs)

#> $ `Admission DateTime` <dttm> 2020-03-05 14:01:00, 2020-03-06 09:10:00, 2020-03…
#> $ Discharge_DateTime   <dttm> 2020-03-10 16:34:00, 2020-03-16 18:51:00, 2020-0…
#> $ `Date of Birth`      <chr> "1956-01-09", "1997-12-04", "1973-05-28"
#> $ Male                 <ord> Male, Not_Male, Male
#> $ Height               [m] 1.82 [m], 1.61 [m], 1.68 [m]

#> $ Age                  <Duration> 2092780800s (~66.32 years), 770428800s (~24.41 y…

Make sure to use set_units() from the units package to convert all measurements into unit objects for automatic unit conversion in epocakir.

Examples

It is possible to use aki_staging() to automatically classify the presence and staging of AKI. If a particular method is required, it is possible to classify AKI using aki_bCr(), aki_SCr() or aki_UO().

Similarly, eGFR() offers the ability to automatically select the appropriate formula to estimate the glomerular filtration rate. If a particular formula is required, then eGFR_adult_SCr, eGFR_adult_SCysC, eGFR_adult_SCr_SCysC, eGFR_child_SCr, eGFR_child_SCr_BUN, or eGFR_child_SCysC can be used.
