(#134) - Identify inpatient events using visit_occurrence to support CDM 5.4 (#141) Bug Fixes: - Fixes MeasurementRangeGroup analysis bug (#133) to use proper look back days Other: - Additional unit tests and improvement of code coverage Changes in version 3.1.1 Bug Fixes: 1. Removes 'size' column name since this is a reserved keyword for Oracle. 2. Age group covariate name fix for Spark SQL 3. Removes extraneous concepts from CCI score 4. Correct output of multiple cohort IDs in print() function. 5. Fix external class caching issue 6. Fix standardized difference calc 7. Fixing duplicates in counts when generating server-side aggregated measurement-range-group covariates. Changes in version 3.1.0 Changes: 1. Added ability to compute aggregated statistics for multiple cohorts at once: The cohortId argument of the getDbCovariateData() function now accepts a vector of IDs. The aggregated statistics now contains a new field called cohortDefinitionId that can be used to distinguish between the various cohorts. 2. Added filterByCohortDefinitionId() function to select covariates of one cohort from a covariateData object containing multiple. 3. The cohortId argument now also supports integers greater than 32-bits. Bug Fixes: 1. If a person has multiple measurements with the same measurement_concept_id, the selection of which measurement value to include is now deterministic. Changes in version 3.0.1 Changes: 1. Adding timeRef table to CovariateData object for temporal covariates. 2. Throw meaningful error when createCovariateSettings() is called without specifying any covariates. 3. getDbCovariateData() returns empty covariates instead of NULL covariates when no covariates are specified. Bug Fixes: 1. Time ID is now retrieved when aggregating binary temporal covariates. Changes in version 3.0.0 Changes: 1. Switching from ff to Andromeda for storage of large data objects. 2. Adding option to createTable1 to (also) show absolute counts. 3. For analyses that restrict to inpatient diagnoses, the string '(inpatient)' is now appended to the covariate name. Bug Fixes: 1. Dropping spurious 'analysis_name' field in temporary covariate reference table. 2. Fixed covariate name of age groups over 100 years old. Changes in version 2.2.5 Changes: 1. Added Korean translation of vignettes. Bug Fixes: 1. Fixing aggregation of covariates generated using the cohort_attribute table. 2. Fixed error when calling tidyCovariates without removing redundancy, when there are no infrequent covariates. 3. Fixed server-side computation of median and interquartile range for measurement values. 4. Restricting by concept ID now works for measurement values. Changes in version 2.2.4 Bug Fixes: 1. Removing redundant covariates now precedes removing infrequent covariates when calling tidyCovariates. Analyses where the most prevalent (redundant) covariate was removed are now exempt from removal of infrequent covariates. 2. Fixed some typos in the vignette Changes in version 2.2.3 Changes: 1. Also removing descendants when excluding condition concepts from condition groups. Condition groups therefore now work similar to drug groups. Bug Fixes: 1. Updated workaround for ff bug causing chunk.default error on R v3.6.0 on machines with lots of memory. Changes in version 2.2.2 Changes: 1. Using new SqlRender (v1.6.0) functions. Changes in version 2.2.1 Changes: 1. Added option to specify number of digits for continuous variables in createTable1 function. Bug Fixes: 1. Added missing space cause SQL error when both include and exclude concept are specified. Changes in version 2.2.0 Changes: 1. Added the Hospital Frailty Risk Score.
