With the function `mdro()`, you can determine multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO). It currently support these guidelines:

* "Intrinsic Resistance and Exceptional Phenotypes Tables", by EUCAST (European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing)
* "Companion handbook to the WHO guidelines for the programmatic management of drug-resistant tuberculosis", by WHO (World Health Organization)
* "WIP-Richtlijn Bijzonder Resistente Micro-organismen (BRMO)", by RIVM (Rijksinstituut voor de Volksgezondheid, the Netherlands National Institute for Public Health and the Environment)

As an example, I will make a data set to determine multi-drug resistant TB:

```{r}
# a helper function to get a random vector with values S, I and R
# with the probabilities 50%-10%-40%
sample_rsi <- function() {
  sample(c("S", "I", "R"),
         size = 5000,
         prob = c(0.5, 0.1, 0.4),
         replace = TRUE)
}

my_TB_data <- data.frame(rifampicin = sample_rsi(),
                         isoniazid = sample_rsi(),
                         gatifloxacin = sample_rsi(),
                         ethambutol = sample_rsi(),
                         pyrazinamide = sample_rsi(),
                         moxifloxacin = sample_rsi(),
                         kanamycin = sample_rsi())
```

Because all column names are automatically verified for valid drug names or codes, this would have worked exactly the same:

```{r, eval = FALSE}
my_TB_data <- data.frame(RIF = sample_rsi(),
                         INH = sample_rsi(),
                         GAT = sample_rsi(),
                         ETH = sample_rsi(),
                         PZA = sample_rsi(),
                         MFX = sample_rsi(),
                         KAN = sample_rsi())
```

The data set looks like this now:

```{r}
head(my_TB_data)
```

We can now add the interpretation of MDR-TB to our data set:

```{r}
my_TB_data$mdr <- mdr_tb(my_TB_data)
```

And review the result with a frequency table:

```{r, results = 'asis'}
freq(my_TB_data$mdr)
```
