Signal detection for the adverse reaction of pancreatitis in vedolizumab use
The following steps will allow you to run analyse_vedol_panc.R
to reproduce Table 2 and Figure 1 of
Duszynski et al. (2022):
- Make sure you have R and RStudio installed.
- Download the
vedol_panc.zip
file (on the repo page: greenCode
button->
Download ZIP
button). - Unzip the download.
- Double click the
vedol_panc.Rproj
file - this should open an RStudio session. - (only has to be performed once) Make sure the prerequisite packages are installed by running the below command in the R console:
install.packages(
c(
"arrow", "dplyr", "tibble",
"ggplot2", "knitr", "tidyr"
)
)
# install pharmsignal package from github
# NOTE: devtools package needs to be installed - please see
# https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/pandoc/devtools.html
devtools::install_github('tystan/pharmsignal')
- Now the code is ready to be run:
- Open the
analyse_vedol_panc.R
file by clicking onFiles
tab in theFiles/Plots/Packages/...
pane of RStudio. - Now to finally run the code in
analyse_vedol_panc.R
in the R console.
- Open the
