# Introduction

This article describes creating an `ADSL` ADaM. Examples are currently 
presented and tested using `DM`, `EX` , `AE`, `LB` and `DS` SDTM domains. However, other domains 
could be used.

**Note:** *All examples assume CDISC SDTM and/or ADaM format as input unless 
otherwise specified.*

## Read in Data {#readdata}

To start, all data frames needed for the creation of `ADSL` should be read into
the environment. This will be a company specific process. Some of the 
data frames needed may be `DM`, `EX`, `DS`, `AE`, and `LB`.

For example purpose, the CDISC Pilot SDTM datasets---which are included in 
`{pharmaversesdtm}`---are used.

```{r, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
library(admiral)
library(dplyr, warn.conflicts = FALSE)
library(pharmaversesdtm)
library(lubridate)
library(stringr)

dm <- pharmaversesdtm::dm
ds <- pharmaversesdtm::ds
ex <- pharmaversesdtm::ex
ae <- pharmaversesdtm::ae
lb <- pharmaversesdtm::lb

dm <- convert_blanks_to_na(dm)
ds <- convert_blanks_to_na(ds)
ex <- convert_blanks_to_na(ex)
ae <- convert_blanks_to_na(ae)
lb <- convert_blanks_to_na(lb)
```

The `DM` domain is used as the basis for `ADSL`:

```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- dm %>%
  select(-DOMAIN)
```

```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
dataset_vignette(
  adsl,
  display_vars = exprs(USUBJID, RFSTDTC, COUNTRY, AGE, SEX, RACE, ETHNIC, ARM, ACTARM)
)
```

## Derive Period, Subperiod, and Phase Variables (e.g. `APxxSDT`, `APxxEDT`, ...) {#periodvars}

See the ["Visit and Period Variables"
vignette](visits_periods.html#periods_adsl) for more information.

If the variables are not derived based on a period reference dataset, they may
be derived at a later point of the flow. For example, phases like "Treatment
Phase" and "Follow up" could be derived based on treatment start and end date.

## Derive Treatment Variables (`TRT0xP`, `TRT0xA`) {#treatmentvar}

The mapping of the treatment variables is left to the ADaM programmer. An
example mapping for a study without periods may be:

```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- dm %>%
  mutate(TRT01P = ARM, TRT01A = ACTARM)
```

For studies with periods see the ["Visit and Period Variables"
vignette](visits_periods.html#treatment_adsl).

## Derive/Impute Numeric Treatment Date/Time and Duration (`TRTSDTM`, `TRTEDTM`, `TRTDURD`) {#trtdatetime}

The function `derive_vars_merged()` can be used to derive the treatment start
and end date/times using the `ex` domain. A pre-processing step for `ex` is
required to convert the variable `EXSTDTC` and `EXENDTC` to datetime variables
and impute missing date or time components. Conversion and imputation is done by
`derive_vars_dtm()`.

Example calls:

```{r eval=TRUE}
# Impute start and end time of exposure to first and last respectively,
# Do not impute date
ex_ext <- ex %>%
  derive_vars_dtm(
    dtc = EXSTDTC,
    new_vars_prefix = "EXST"
  ) %>%
  derive_vars_dtm(
    dtc = EXENDTC,
    new_vars_prefix = "EXEN",
    time_imputation = "last"
  )

adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_vars_merged(
    dataset_add = ex_ext,
    filter_add = (EXDOSE > 0 |
      (EXDOSE == 0 &
        str_detect(EXTRT, "PLACEBO"))) & !is.na(EXSTDTM),
    new_vars = exprs(TRTSDTM = EXSTDTM, TRTSTMF = EXSTTMF),
    order = exprs(EXSTDTM, EXSEQ),
    mode = "first",
    by_vars = exprs(STUDYID, USUBJID)
  ) %>%
  derive_vars_merged(
    dataset_add = ex_ext,
    filter_add = (EXDOSE > 0 |
      (EXDOSE == 0 &
        str_detect(EXTRT, "PLACEBO"))) & !is.na(EXENDTM),
    new_vars = exprs(TRTEDTM = EXENDTM, TRTETMF = EXENTMF),
    order = exprs(EXENDTM, EXSEQ),
    mode = "last",
    by_vars = exprs(STUDYID, USUBJID)
  )
```

This call returns the original data frame with the column `TRTSDTM`, `TRTSTMF`,
`TRTEDTM`, and `TRTETMF` added. Exposure observations with incomplete date and
zero doses of non placebo treatments are ignored. Missing time parts are imputed
as first or last for start and end date respectively.

The datetime variables returned can be converted to dates using the `derive_vars_dtm_to_dt()` 
function.

```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_vars_dtm_to_dt(source_vars = exprs(TRTSDTM, TRTEDTM))
```


Now, that `TRTSDT` and `TRTEDT` are derived, the function `derive_var_trtdurd()`
can be used to calculate the Treatment duration (`TRTDURD`).

```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_var_trtdurd()
```

```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
dataset_vignette(
  adsl,
  display_vars = exprs(USUBJID, RFSTDTC, TRTSDTM, TRTSDT, TRTEDTM, TRTEDT, TRTDURD)
)
```


## Derive Disposition Variables {#disposition}

### Disposition Dates (e.g. `EOSDT`) {#disposition_date}

The functions `derive_vars_dt()` and `derive_vars_merged()` can be used to
derive a disposition date. First the character disposition date (`DS.DSSTDTC`)
is converted to a numeric date (`DSSTDT`) calling `derive_vars_dt()`. The `DS`
dataset is extended by the `DSSTDT` variable because the date is required by
other derivations, e.g., `RANDDT` as well. Then the relevant disposition date is
selected by adjusting the `filter_add` argument.

To add the End of Study date (`EOSDT`) to the input dataset, a call could be:

```{r eval=TRUE}
# Convert character date to numeric date without imputation
ds_ext <- derive_vars_dt(
  ds,
  dtc = DSSTDTC,
  new_vars_prefix = "DSST"
)

adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_vars_merged(
    dataset_add = ds_ext,
    by_vars = exprs(STUDYID, USUBJID),
    new_vars = exprs(EOSDT = DSSTDT),
    filter_add = DSCAT == "DISPOSITION EVENT" & DSDECOD != "SCREEN FAILURE"
  )
```

The `ds_ext` dataset:
```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
dataset_vignette(
  ds_ext,
  display_vars = exprs(USUBJID, DSCAT, DSDECOD, DSTERM, DSSTDT, DSSTDTC),
  filter = DSDECOD != "SCREEN FAILURE"
)
```

The `adsl` dataset:
```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
dataset_vignette(adsl, display_vars = exprs(USUBJID, EOSDT))
```

The `derive_vars_dt()` function allows to impute partial dates as well. If
imputation is needed and missing days are to be imputed to the first of the
month and missing months to the first month of the year, set `highest_imputation
= "M"`.

### Disposition Status (e.g. `EOSSTT`) {#disposition_status}

The function `derive_vars_merged()` can be used to derive the End of Study
status (`EOSSTT`) based on `DSCAT` and `DSDECOD` from `DS`. The relevant
observations are selected by adjusting the `filter_add` argument. A function
mapping `DSDECOD` values to `EOSSTT` values can be defined and used in the
`new_vars` argument. The mapping for the call below is

- `"COMPLETED"` if `DSDECOD == "COMPLETED"`
- `NA_character_` if `DSDECOD` is `"SCREEN FAILURE"`
- `"DISCONTINUED"` otherwise

Example function `format_eosstt()`:

```{r eval=TRUE}
format_eosstt <- function(x) {
  case_when(
    x %in% c("COMPLETED") ~ "COMPLETED",
    x %in% c("SCREEN FAILURE") ~ NA_character_,
    TRUE ~ "DISCONTINUED"
  )
}
```

The customized mapping function `format_eosstt()` can now be passed to the main
function. For subjects without a disposition event the end of study status is
set to `"ONGOING"` by specifying the `missing_values` argument.

```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_vars_merged(
    dataset_add = ds,
    by_vars = exprs(STUDYID, USUBJID),
    filter_add = DSCAT == "DISPOSITION EVENT",
    new_vars = exprs(EOSSTT = format_eosstt(DSDECOD)),
    missing_values = exprs(EOSSTT = "ONGOING")
  )
```

```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
dataset_vignette(adsl, display_vars = exprs(USUBJID, EOSDT, EOSSTT))
```

This call would return the input dataset with the column `EOSSTT` added. 

If the derivation must be changed, the user can create his/her own function to
map `DSDECOD` to a suitable `EOSSTT` value.

### Disposition Reason(s) (e.g. `DCSREAS`, `DCSREASP`) {#disposition_reason}

The main reason for discontinuation is usually stored in `DSDECOD` while `DSTERM` provides 
additional details regarding subject's discontinuation (e.g., description of `"OTHER"`).

The function `derive_vars_merged()` can be used to derive a disposition reason
(along with the details, if required) at a specific timepoint. The relevant
observations are selected by adjusting the `filter_add` argument.

To derive the End of Study reason(s) (`DCSREAS` and `DCSREASP`), the function
will map `DCSREAS` as `DSDECOD`, and `DCSREASP` as `DSTERM` if `DSDECOD` is not
`"COMPLETED"`, `"SCREEN FAILURE"`, or `NA`, `NA` otherwise.

```{r}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_vars_merged(
    dataset_add = ds,
    by_vars = exprs(USUBJID),
    new_vars = exprs(DCSREAS = DSDECOD, DCSREASP = DSTERM),
    filter_add = DSCAT == "DISPOSITION EVENT" &
      !(DSDECOD %in% c("SCREEN FAILURE", "COMPLETED", NA))
  )
```

```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
dataset_vignette(adsl, display_vars = exprs(USUBJID, EOSDT, EOSSTT, DCSREAS, DCSREASP))
```
This call would return the input dataset with the column `DCSREAS` and `DCSREASP` added. 

If the derivation must be changed, the user can define that derivation in the `filter_add` argument of the function to map `DSDECOD` and  `DSTERM` to a suitable `DCSREAS`/`DCSREASP` value.

The call below maps `DCSREAS` and `DCREASP` as follows:

- `DCSREAS` as `DSDECOD` if `DSDECOD` is not `"COMPLETED"` or `NA`, `NA` otherwise
- `DCSREASP` as `DSTERM` if `DSDECOD` is equal to `OTHER`, `NA` otherwise

```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  select(-DCSREAS, -DCSREASP)
```

```{r}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_vars_merged(
    dataset_add = ds,
    by_vars = exprs(USUBJID),
    new_vars = exprs(DCSREAS = DSDECOD),
    filter_add = DSCAT == "DISPOSITION EVENT" &
      DSDECOD %notin% c("SCREEN FAILURE", "COMPLETED", NA)
  ) %>%
  derive_vars_merged(
    dataset_add = ds,
    by_vars = exprs(USUBJID),
    new_vars = exprs(DCSREASP = DSTERM),
    filter_add = DSCAT == "DISPOSITION EVENT" & DSDECOD %in% "OTHER"
  )
```

```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
dataset_vignette(adsl, display_vars = exprs(USUBJID, EOSDT, EOSSTT, DCSREAS, DCSREASP))
```

### Randomization Date (`RANDDT`) {#randomization_date}

The function `derive_vars_merged()` can be used to derive randomization date 
variable. To map Randomization Date (`RANDDT`), the call would be:

```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_vars_merged(
    dataset_add = ds_ext,
    filter_add = DSDECOD == "RANDOMIZED",
    by_vars = exprs(STUDYID, USUBJID),
    new_vars = exprs(RANDDT = DSSTDT)
  )
```


This call would return the input dataset with the column `RANDDT` is added.

```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
dataset_vignette(adsl, display_vars = exprs(USUBJID, RANDDT))
```

## Derive Birth Date and Analysis Age (`BRTHDT`, `AAGE`, `AAGEU`) {#aage}

The function `derive_vars_aage()` can be used to derive analysis age (`AAGE`) and 
analysis age unit (`AAGEU`). The function derives the age based on the birth date 
(`BRTHDT`) and a reference date, which is typically the randomization date (`RANDDT`).

Note that `BRTHDT` must be derived first from `BRTHDTC` using `derive_vars_dt()`.

```{r eval=TRUE}
# Derive birth date from BRTHDTC
adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_vars_dt(
    new_vars_prefix = "BRTH",
    dtc = BRTHDTC
  )
```

Typically, dates of birth are collected only as years. However, this data has complete birth dates. The function `derive_vars_dt()` has the flexibility to do imputation on partial dates. Please see the `derive_vars_dt()` documentation and examples for more details or check out the [Date and Time Imputation](imputation.html) vignette.

Now that we have `BRTHDT`, we can use `derive_var_aage()` to derive `AAGE` and `AAGEU`.

```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_vars_aage(
    start_date = BRTHDT,
    end_date = RANDDT
  )
```

This call returns the input dataset with `AAGE` and `AAGEU` added. By default, 
the age is calculated in years.

```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
dataset_vignette(adsl, display_vars = exprs(USUBJID, BRTHDT, RANDDT, AAGE, AAGEU))
```

## Derive Death Variables {#death}

### Death Date (`DTHDT`) {#death_date}

The function `derive_vars_dt()` can be used to derive `DTHDT`. This function allows 
the user to impute the date as well. If you have partial dates and are in need of imputation 
then please see the `derive_vars_dt()` documentation and examples for more details 
or check out the [Date and Time Imputation](imputation.html) vignette. 

```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_vars_dt(
    new_vars_prefix = "DTH",
    dtc = DTHDTC
  )
```

```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
dataset_vignette(adsl %>% filter(!is.na(DTHDT) | row_number() %% 50 == 0), display_vars = exprs(USUBJID, TRTEDT, DTHDTC, DTHDT, DTHFL))
```



### Cause of Death  (`DTHCAUS`) {#death_cause}

The cause of death `DTHCAUS` can be derived using the function `derive_vars_extreme_event()`.

Since the cause of death could be collected/mapped in different domains (e.g. `DS`, `AE`, `DD`), it 
is important the user specifies the right source(s) to derive the cause of death from.

For example, if the date of death is collected in the AE form when the AE is Fatal, the cause of 
death would be set to the preferred term (`AEDECOD`) of that Fatal AE, while if the date of death is 
collected in  the `DS` form, the cause of death would be set to the disposition term (`DSTERM`).
To achieve this, the `event()` objects within `derive_vars_extreme_event()` must be specified and defined such that they fit the 
study requirement. 

An example call to `derive_vars_extreme_event()` would be: 

```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_vars_extreme_event(
    by_vars = exprs(STUDYID, USUBJID),
    events = list(
      event(
        dataset_name = "ae",
        condition = AEOUT == "FATAL",
        set_values_to = exprs(DTHCAUS = AEDECOD),
      ),
      event(
        dataset_name = "ds",
        condition = DSDECOD == "DEATH" & grepl("DEATH DUE TO", DSTERM),
        set_values_to = exprs(DTHCAUS = DSTERM),
      )
    ),
    source_datasets = list(ae = ae, ds = ds),
    tmp_event_nr_var = event_nr,
    order = exprs(event_nr),
    mode = "first",
    new_vars = exprs(DTHCAUS)
  )
```

```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
dataset_vignette(
  adsl,
  display_vars = exprs(USUBJID, EOSDT, DTHDTC, DTHDT, DTHCAUS),
  filter = DTHFL == "Y"
)
```

The function also offers the option to add some traceability variables (e.g. `DTHDOM` would 
store the domain where the date of death is collected, and `DTHSEQ` would store the `xxSEQ` value of 
that domain). The traceability variables should be added to the `event()` calls and included in the `new_vars` parameter of `derive_vars_extreme_event()`.

```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  select(-DTHCAUS) %>% # Remove it before deriving it again
  derive_vars_extreme_event(
    by_vars = exprs(STUDYID, USUBJID),
    events = list(
      event(
        dataset_name = "ae",
        condition = AEOUT == "FATAL",
        set_values_to = exprs(DTHCAUS = AEDECOD, DTHDOM = "AE", DTHSEQ = AESEQ),
      ),
      event(
        dataset_name = "ds",
        condition = DSDECOD == "DEATH" & grepl("DEATH DUE TO", DSTERM),
        set_values_to = exprs(DTHCAUS = DSTERM, DTHDOM = "DS", DTHSEQ = DSSEQ),
      )
    ),
    source_datasets = list(ae = ae, ds = ds),
    tmp_event_nr_var = event_nr,
    order = exprs(event_nr),
    mode = "first",
    new_vars = exprs(DTHCAUS, DTHDOM, DTHSEQ)
  )
```

```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
dataset_vignette(
  adsl,
  display_vars = exprs(USUBJID, TRTEDT, DTHDTC, DTHDT, DTHCAUS, DTHDOM, DTHSEQ),
  filter = DTHFL == "Y"
)
```

Following the derivation of `DTHCAUS` and related traceability variables, it is then possible to derive grouping variables such as death categories (`DTHCGRx`) using standard tidyverse code.

```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  mutate(DTHCGR1 = case_when(
    is.na(DTHDOM) ~ NA_character_,
    DTHDOM == "AE" ~ "ADVERSE EVENT",
    str_detect(DTHCAUS, "(PROGRESSIVE DISEASE|DISEASE RELAPSE)") ~ "PROGRESSIVE DISEASE",
    TRUE ~ "OTHER"
  ))
```

### Duration Relative to Death {#death_other}

The function `derive_vars_duration()` can be used to derive duration relative to death like the Relative 
Day of Death (`DTHADY`) or the numbers of days from last dose to death (`LDDTHELD`).

Example calls: 

- Relative Day of Death
```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_vars_duration(
    new_var = DTHADY,
    start_date = TRTSDT,
    end_date = DTHDT
  )
```

- Elapsed Days from Last Dose to Death
```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_vars_duration(
    new_var = LDDTHELD,
    start_date = TRTEDT,
    end_date = DTHDT,
    add_one = FALSE
  )
```

```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
dataset_vignette(
  adsl,
  display_vars = exprs(USUBJID, TRTEDT, DTHDTC, DTHDT, DTHCAUS, DTHADY, LDDTHELD),
  filter = DTHFL == "Y"
)
```

## Derive the Last Date Known Alive (`LSTALVDT`) {#lstalvdt}

Similarly as for the cause of death (`DTHCAUS`), the last known alive date
(`LSTALVDT`) can be derived from multiples sources using `derive_vars_extreme_event()`.

An example could be (`--DTC` dates are converted to numeric dates imputing missing
day and month to the first):

```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_vars_extreme_event(
    by_vars = exprs(STUDYID, USUBJID),
    events = list(
      event(
        dataset_name = "ae",
        order = exprs(AESTDTC, AESEQ),
        condition = !is.na(AESTDTC),
        set_values_to = exprs(
          LSTALVDT = convert_dtc_to_dt(AESTDTC, highest_imputation = "M"),
          seq = AESEQ
        ),
      ),
      event(
        dataset_name = "ae",
        order = exprs(AEENDTC, AESEQ),
        condition = !is.na(AEENDTC),
        set_values_to = exprs(
          LSTALVDT = convert_dtc_to_dt(AEENDTC, highest_imputation = "M"),
          seq = AESEQ
        ),
      ),
      event(
        dataset_name = "lb",
        order = exprs(LBDTC, LBSEQ),
        condition = !is.na(LBDTC),
        set_values_to = exprs(
          LSTALVDT = convert_dtc_to_dt(LBDTC, highest_imputation = "M"),
          seq = LBSEQ
        ),
      ),
      event(
        dataset_name = "adsl",
        condition = !is.na(TRTEDT),
        set_values_to = exprs(LSTALVDT = TRTEDT, seq = 0),
      )
    ),
    source_datasets = list(ae = ae, lb = lb, adsl = adsl),
    tmp_event_nr_var = event_nr,
    order = exprs(LSTALVDT, seq, event_nr),
    mode = "last",
    new_vars = exprs(LSTALVDT)
  )
```

```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
dataset_vignette(
  adsl,
  display_vars = exprs(USUBJID, TRTEDT, DTHDTC, LSTALVDT),
  filter = !is.na(TRTSDT)
)
```

Traceability variables can be added by specifying the variables in the `set_values_to` parameter of the `event()` function.

```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  select(-LSTALVDT) %>% # Created in the previous call
  derive_vars_extreme_event(
    by_vars = exprs(STUDYID, USUBJID),
    events = list(
      event(
        dataset_name = "ae",
        order = exprs(AESTDTC, AESEQ),
        condition = !is.na(AESTDTC),
        set_values_to = exprs(
          LSTALVDT = convert_dtc_to_dt(AESTDTC, highest_imputation = "M"),
          LALVSEQ = AESEQ,
          LALVDOM = "AE",
          LALVVAR = "AESTDTC"
        ),
      ),
      event(
        dataset_name = "ae",
        order = exprs(AEENDTC, AESEQ),
        condition = !is.na(AEENDTC),
        set_values_to = exprs(
          LSTALVDT = convert_dtc_to_dt(AEENDTC, highest_imputation = "M"),
          LALVSEQ = AESEQ,
          LALVDOM = "AE",
          LALVVAR = "AEENDTC"
        ),
      ),
      event(
        dataset_name = "lb",
        order = exprs(LBDTC, LBSEQ),
        condition = !is.na(LBDTC),

## Derive Groupings and Populations {#groupings}

### Grouping (e.g. `AGEGR1` or `REGION1`) {#groupings_ex}

Numeric and categorical variables (`AGE`, `RACE`, `COUNTRY`, etc.) may need to be grouped to perform
the required analysis.
`{admiral}` provides the `derive_vars_cat()` function to create such groups.
This function is especially useful if more than one variable needs to be created for
each condition, e.g., `AGEGR1` and `AGEGR1N`.

Additionally, one needs to be careful when considering the order of the conditions in the lookup table. 
The category is assigned based on the first match.
That means *catch-all* conditions must come after specific conditions, e.g. `!is.na(COUNTRY)`
must come after `COUNTRY %in% c("CAN", "USA")`.

```{r eval=TRUE}
# Create lookup tables
agegr1_lookup <- exprs(
  ~condition,           ~AGEGR1,
  AGE < 18,               "<18",
  between(AGE, 18, 64), "18-64",
  AGE > 64,               ">64",
  is.na(AGE),         "Missing"
)

region1_lookup <- exprs(
  ~condition,                          ~REGION1,
  COUNTRY %in% c("CAN", "USA"), "North America",
  !is.na(COUNTRY),          "Rest of the World",
  is.na(COUNTRY),                     "Missing"
)
```

```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_vars_cat(
    definition = agegr1_lookup
  ) %>%
  derive_vars_cat(
    definition = region1_lookup
  )
```
Alternatively, you can also solve this task with custom functions: 
```{r}
#| eval: false
format_agegr1 <- function(var_input) {
  case_when(
    var_input < 18 ~ "<18",
    between(var_input, 18, 64) ~ "18-64",
    var_input > 64 ~ ">64",
    TRUE ~ "Missing"
  )
}
format_region1 <- function(var_input) {
  case_when(
    var_input %in% c("CAN", "USA") ~ "North America",
    !is.na(var_input) ~ "Rest of the World",
    TRUE ~ "Missing"
  )
}

adsl %>%
  mutate(
    AGEGR1 = format_agegr1(AAGE),
    REGION1 = format_region1(COUNTRY)
  )
```



```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
dataset_vignette(
  adsl,
  display_vars = exprs(USUBJID, AGE, SEX, COUNTRY, AGEGR1, REGION1)
)
```

### Population Flags (e.g. `SAFFL`) {#popflag}

Since the populations flags are mainly company/study specific no dedicated functions are
provided, but in most cases they can easily be derived using `derive_var_merged_exist_flag`.

An example of an implementation could be:

```{r eval=TRUE}
adsl <- adsl %>%
  derive_var_merged_exist_flag(
    dataset_add = ex,
    by_vars = exprs(STUDYID, USUBJID),
    new_var = SAFFL,
    false_value = "N",
    missing_value = "N",
    condition = (EXDOSE > 0 | (EXDOSE == 0 & str_detect(EXTRT, "PLACEBO")))
  )
```

```{r, eval=TRUE, echo=FALSE}
dataset_vignette(
  adsl,
  display_vars = exprs(USUBJID, TRTSDT, ARM, ACTARM, SAFFL)
)
```


## Derive Other Variables  {#other}
The users can add specific code to cover their need for the analysis.

The following functions are helpful for many ADSL derivations:

  - `derive_vars_merged()` - Merge Variables from a Dataset to the Input Dataset
  - `derive_var_merged_exist_flag()` - Merge an Existence Flag
  - `derive_vars_merged_summary()` - Merge Summary Variables

See also [Generic Functions](generic.html).

```{r, results='asis', echo=FALSE}
admiral_labels_attrs_section()
```
