These functions allow for filtering rows and selecting columns based on antibiotic test results that are of a specific antibiotic class or group (according to the antibiotics data set), without the need to define the columns or antibiotic abbreviations.

In short, if you have a column name that resembles an antimicrobial drug, it will be picked up by any of these functions that matches its pharmaceutical class: "cefazolin", "kefzol", "CZO" and "J01DB04" will all be picked up by cephalosporins().

Arguments

ab_class

an antimicrobial class or a part of it, such as "carba" and "carbapenems". The columns group, atc_group1 and atc_group2 of the antibiotics data set will be searched (case-insensitive) for this value.

only_sir_columns

a logical to indicate whether only columns of class sir must be selected (default is FALSE), see as.sir()

only_treatable

a logical to indicate whether antimicrobial drugs should be excluded that are only for laboratory tests (default is TRUE), such as gentamicin-high (GEH) and imipenem/EDTA (IPE)

...

ignored, only in place to allow future extensions

filter

an expression to be evaluated in the antibiotics data set, such as name %like% "trim"

col_mo

column name of the names or codes of the microorganisms (see as.mo()) - the default is the first column of class mo. Values will be coerced using as.mo().

version_expertrules

the version number to use for the EUCAST Expert Rules and Intrinsic Resistance guideline. Can be "3.3", "3.2", or "3.1".

Value

When used inside selecting or filtering, this returns a character vector of column names, with additional class "ab_selector". When used individually, this returns an 'ab' vector with all possible antimicrobial that the function would be able to select or filter.

Details

These functions can be used in data set calls for selecting columns and filtering rows. They work with base R, the Tidyverse, and data.table. They are heavily inspired by the Tidyverse selection helpers such as everything(), but are not limited to dplyr verbs. Nonetheless, they are very convenient to use with dplyr functions such as select(), filter() and summarise(), see Examples.

All columns in the data in which these functions are called will be searched for known antibiotic names, abbreviations, brand names, and codes (ATC, EARS-Net, WHO, etc.) according to the antibiotics data set. This means that a selector such as aminoglycosides() will pick up column names like 'gen', 'genta', 'J01GB03', 'tobra', 'Tobracin', etc.

The ab_class() function can be used to filter/select on a manually defined antibiotic class. It searches for results in the antibiotics data set within the columns group, atc_group1 and atc_group2.

The ab_selector() function can be used to internally filter the antibiotics data set on any results, see Examples. It allows for filtering on a (part of) a certain name, and/or a group name or even a minimum of DDDs for oral treatment. This function yields the highest flexibility, but is also the least user-friendly, since it requires a hard-coded filter to set.

The administrable_per_os() and administrable_iv() functions also rely on the antibiotics data set - antibiotic columns will be matched where a DDD (defined daily dose) for resp. oral and IV treatment is available in the antibiotics data set.

The not_intrinsic_resistant() function can be used to only select antibiotic columns that pose no intrinsic resistance for the microorganisms in the data set. For example, if a data set contains only microorganism codes or names of E. coli and K. pneumoniae and contains a column "vancomycin", this column will be removed (or rather, unselected) using this function. It currently applies 'EUCAST Expert Rules' and 'EUCAST Intrinsic Resistance and Unusual Phenotypes' v3.3 (2021) to determine intrinsic resistance, using the eucast_rules() function internally. Because of this determination, this function is quite slow in terms of performance.
