<p>To conduct an analysis of antimicrobial resistance, you should only include the first isolate of every patient per episode <a href='https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17304462/'>(Hindler <em>et al.</em> 2007)</a>. If you would not do this, you could easily get an overestimate or underestimate of the resistance of an antibiotic. Imagine that a patient was admitted with an MRSA and that it was found in 5 different blood cultures the following week. The resistance percentage of oxacillin of all <em>S. aureus</em> isolates would be overestimated, because you included this MRSA more than once. It would be <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_bias'>selection bias</a>.</p>

<p>There are two ways to determine whether isolates can be included as first weighted isolates which will give generally the same results:</p><ol>
<li><p>Using <code>type = "keyantibiotics"</code> and argument <code>ignore_I</code></p>
<p>Any difference from S to R (or vice versa) will (re)select an isolate as a first weighted isolate. With <code>ignore_I = FALSE</code>, also differences from I to S|R (or vice versa) will lead to this. This is a reliable method and 30-35 times faster than method 2. Read more about this in the <code><a href='key_antibiotics.html'>key_antibiotics()</a></code> function.</p></li>
<li><p>Using <code>type = "points"</code> and argument <code>points_threshold</code></p>
<p>A difference from I to S|R (or vice versa) means 0.5 points, a difference from S to R (or vice versa) means 1 point. When the sum of points exceeds <code>points_threshold</code>, which default to <code>2</code>, an isolate will be (re)selected as a first weighted isolate.</p></li>

<p><img src='figures/lifecycle_stable.svg' style=margin-bottom:5px /> <br />
The <a href='lifecycle.html'>lifecycle</a> of this function is <strong>stable</strong>. In a stable function, major changes are unlikely. This means that the unlying code will generally evolve by adding new arguments; removing arguments or changing the meaning of existing arguments will be avoided.</p>
<p>If the unlying code needs breaking changes, they will occur gradually. For example, a argument will be deprecated and first continue to work, but will emit an message informing you of the change. Next, typically after at least one newly released version on CRAN, the message will be transformed to an error.</p>
