Interpret minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values and disk diffusion diameters according to EUCAST or CLSI, or clean up existing R/SI values. This transforms the input to a new class rsi, which is an ordered factor with levels S < I < R.

Usage

as.rsi(x, ...)

NA_rsi_

is.rsi(x)

is.rsi.eligible(x, threshold = 0.05)

# S3 method for mic
as.rsi(
  x,
  mo = NULL,
  ab = deparse(substitute(x)),
  guideline = "EUCAST",
  uti = FALSE,
  conserve_capped_values = FALSE,
  add_intrinsic_resistance = FALSE,
  reference_data = AMR::rsi_translation,
  ...
)

# S3 method for disk
as.rsi(
  x,
  mo = NULL,
  ab = deparse(substitute(x)),
  guideline = "EUCAST",
  uti = FALSE,
  add_intrinsic_resistance = FALSE,
  reference_data = AMR::rsi_translation,
  ...
)

# S3 method for data.frame
as.rsi(
  x,
  ...,
  col_mo = NULL,
  guideline = "EUCAST",
  uti = NULL,
  conserve_capped_values = FALSE,
  add_intrinsic_resistance = FALSE,
  reference_data = AMR::rsi_translation
)

Format

An object of class rsi (inherits from ordered, factor) of length 1.

Arguments

x

vector of values (for class mic: MIC values in mg/L, for class disk: a disk diffusion radius in millimetres)

...

for using on a data.frame: names of columns to apply as.rsi() on (supports tidy selection such as column1:column4). Otherwise: arguments passed on to methods.

threshold

maximum fraction of invalid antimicrobial interpretations of x, see Examples

mo

any (vector of) text that can be coerced to valid microorganism codes with as.mo(), can be left empty to determine it automatically

ab

any (vector of) text that can be coerced to a valid antimicrobial code with as.ab()

guideline

defaults to EUCAST 2022 (the latest implemented EUCAST guideline in the rsi_translation data set), supports EUCAST (2011-2022) and CLSI (2011-2022), see Details

uti

(Urinary Tract Infection) A vector with logicals (TRUE or FALSE) to specify whether a UTI specific interpretation from the guideline should be chosen. For using as.rsi() on a data.frame, this can also be a column containing logicals or when left blank, the data set will be searched for a column 'specimen', and rows within this column containing 'urin' (such as 'urine', 'urina') will be regarded isolates from a UTI. See Examples.

conserve_capped_values

a logical to indicate that MIC values starting with ">" (but not ">=") must always return "R" , and that MIC values starting with "<" (but not "<=") must always return "S"

add_intrinsic_resistance

(only useful when using a EUCAST guideline) a logical to indicate whether intrinsic antibiotic resistance must also be considered for applicable bug-drug combinations, meaning that e.g. ampicillin will always return "R" in Klebsiella species. Determination is based on the intrinsic_resistant data set, that itself is based on 'EUCAST Expert Rules' and 'EUCAST Intrinsic Resistance and Unusual Phenotypes' v3.3 (2021).

reference_data

a data.frame to be used for interpretation, which defaults to the rsi_translation data set. Changing this argument allows for using own interpretation guidelines. This argument must contain a data set that is equal in structure to the rsi_translation data set (same column names and column types). Please note that the guideline argument will be ignored when reference_data is manually set.

col_mo

column name of the IDs of the microorganisms (see as.mo()), defaults to the first column of class mo. Values will be coerced using as.mo().

Value

Ordered factor with new class <rsi>

Details

How it Works

The as.rsi() function works in four ways:

  1. For cleaning raw / untransformed data. The data will be cleaned to only contain values S, I and R and will try its best to determine this with some intelligence. For example, mixed values with R/SI interpretations and MIC values such as "<0.25; S" will be coerced to "S". Combined interpretations for multiple test methods (as seen in laboratory records) such as "S; S" will be coerced to "S", but a value like "S; I" will return NA with a warning that the input is unclear.

  2. For interpreting minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values according to EUCAST or CLSI. You must clean your MIC values first using as.mic(), that also gives your columns the new data class mic. Also, be sure to have a column with microorganism names or codes. It will be found automatically, but can be set manually using the mo argument.

    • Using dplyr, R/SI interpretation can be done very easily with either:

      your_data %>% mutate_if(is.mic, as.rsi)             # until dplyr 1.0.0
      your_data %>% mutate(across(where(is.mic), as.rsi)) # since dplyr 1.0.0

    • Operators like "<=" will be stripped before interpretation. When using conserve_capped_values = TRUE, an MIC value of e.g. ">2" will always return "R", even if the breakpoint according to the chosen guideline is ">=4". This is to prevent that capped values from raw laboratory data would not be treated conservatively. The default behaviour (conserve_capped_values = FALSE) considers ">2" to be lower than ">=4" and might in this case return "S" or "I".

  3. For interpreting disk diffusion diameters according to EUCAST or CLSI. You must clean your disk zones first using as.disk(), that also gives your columns the new data class disk. Also, be sure to have a column with microorganism names or codes. It will be found automatically, but can be set manually using the mo argument.

    • Using dplyr, R/SI interpretation can be done very easily with either:

      your_data %>% mutate_if(is.disk, as.rsi)             # until dplyr 1.0.0
      your_data %>% mutate(across(where(is.disk), as.rsi)) # since dplyr 1.0.0

  4. For interpreting a complete data set, with automatic determination of MIC values, disk diffusion diameters, microorganism names or codes, and antimicrobial test results. This is done very simply by running as.rsi(your_data).

Supported Guidelines

For interpreting MIC values as well as disk diffusion diameters, currently implemented guidelines are EUCAST (2011-2022) and CLSI (2011-2022).

Thus, the guideline argument must be set to e.g., "EUCAST 2022" or "CLSI 2022". By simply using "EUCAST" (the default) or "CLSI" as input, the latest included version of that guideline will automatically be selected. You can set your own data set using the reference_data argument. The guideline argument will then be ignored.

After Interpretation

After using as.rsi(), you can use the eucast_rules() defined by EUCAST to (1) apply inferred susceptibility and resistance based on results of other antimicrobials and (2) apply intrinsic resistance based on taxonomic properties of a microorganism.

Machine-Readable Interpretation Guidelines

The repository of this package contains a machine-readable version of all guidelines. This is a CSV file consisting of 20,369 rows and 11 columns. This file is machine-readable, since it contains one row for every unique combination of the test method (MIC or disk diffusion), the antimicrobial agent and the microorganism. This allows for easy implementation of these rules in laboratory information systems (LIS). Note that it only contains interpretation guidelines for humans - interpretation guidelines from CLSI for animals were removed.

Other

The function is.rsi() detects if the input contains class <rsi>. If the input is a data.frame, it iterates over all columns and returns a logical vector.

The function is.rsi.eligible() returns TRUE when a columns contains at most 5% invalid antimicrobial interpretations (not S and/or I and/or R), and FALSE otherwise. The threshold of 5% can be set with the threshold argument. If the input is a data.frame, it iterates over all columns and returns a logical vector.

NA_rsi_ is a missing value of the new <rsi> class, analogous to e.g. base R's NA_character_.

Interpretation of R and S/I

In 2019, the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) has decided to change the definitions of susceptibility testing categories R and S/I as shown below (https://www.eucast.org/newsiandr/).

  • R = Resistant
    A microorganism is categorised as Resistant when there is a high likelihood of therapeutic failure even when there is increased exposure. Exposure is a function of how the mode of administration, dose, dosing interval, infusion time, as well as distribution and excretion of the antimicrobial agent will influence the infecting organism at the site of infection.

  • S = Susceptible
    A microorganism is categorised as Susceptible, standard dosing regimen, when there is a high likelihood of therapeutic success using a standard dosing regimen of the agent.

  • I = Susceptible, Increased exposure
    A microorganism is categorised as Susceptible, Increased exposure when there is a high likelihood of therapeutic success because exposure to the agent is increased by adjusting the dosing regimen or by its concentration at the site of infection.

This AMR package honours this (new) insight. Use susceptibility() (equal to proportion_SI()) to determine antimicrobial susceptibility and count_susceptible() (equal to count_SI()) to count susceptible isolates.

Reference Data Publicly Available

All reference data sets (about microorganisms, antibiotics, R/SI interpretation, EUCAST rules, etc.) in this AMR package are publicly and freely available. We continually export our data sets to formats for use in R, SPSS, SAS, Stata and Excel. We also supply flat files that are machine-readable and suitable for input in any software program, such as laboratory information systems. Please find all download links on our website, which is automatically updated with every code change.
