Demographics Tables Comparing BEP vs. Overall Population

The tables below compare the overall population (“All”) with the biomarker evaluable population (“BEP”) with regards to selected demographic variables.

We will use the cadsl data set from the random.cdisc.data package to illustrate the tables. We add a second artificial BEP flag variable BEP02FL.

In order to compare All with BEP, we need to define a list bep_groups defining these two groups. The reason is that these two groups are overlapping (BEP is a subset of All). Here, we refer in the list elements to the levels Y and N of the biomarker population flag variable BEP01FL from adsl which we will use below:

Code

library(tern)
library(dplyr)

set.seed(123)
adsl <- random.cdisc.data::cadsl %>%
  df_explicit_na() %>%
  mutate(BEP02FL = factor(sample(c("Y", "N"), size = n(), replace = TRUE)))

bep_groups <- list(
  "All" = c("Y", "N"),
  "BEP" = "Y"
)

This can then be used by the tern layout function split_cols_by_groups() below.

The simplest demographics table DT1 splits the columns by treatment arm and All vs. BEP, and summarizes selected demographic variables in the rows.

Code

lyt <- basic_table() %>%
  split_cols_by("ARM") %>%
  split_cols_by_groups("BEP01FL", bep_groups) %>%
  analyze_vars(c("AGE", "SEX")) %>%
  add_colcounts()

build_table(lyt, adsl)
