<p>To conduct epidemiological analyses on antimicrobial resistance data, only so-called first isolates should be included to prevent overestimation and underestimation of antimicrobial resistance. Different methods can be used to do so, see below.</p>
<p>These functions are context-aware. This means that the <code>x</code> argument can be left blank if used inside a <a href="https://rdrr.io/r/base/data.frame.html" class="external-link">data.frame</a> call, see <em>Examples</em>.</p>
<p>The <code>first_isolate()</code> function is a wrapper around the <code><a href="get_episode.html">is_new_episode()</a></code> function, but more efficient for data sets containing microorganism codes or names.</p>
<p>All isolates with a microbial ID of <code>NA</code> will be excluded as first isolate.</p><div class="section">
<h3 id="different-methods">Different methods<a class="anchor" aria-label="anchor" href="#different-methods"></a></h3>
<p>According to Hindler <em>et al.</em> (2007, <a href="https://doi.org/10.1086/511864" class="external-link">doi:10.1086/511864</a>
), there are different methods (algorithms) to select first isolates with increasing reliability: isolate-based, patient-based, episode-based and phenotype-based. All methods select on a combination of the taxonomic genus and species (not subspecies).</p>
<p>All mentioned methods are covered in the <code>first_isolate()</code> function:</p><table class="table table"><tr><td><strong>Method</strong></td><td><strong>Function to apply</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Isolate-based</strong></td><td><code>first_isolate(x, method = "isolate-based")</code></td></tr><tr><td><em>(= all isolates)</em></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Patient-based</strong></td><td><code>first_isolate(x, method = "patient-based")</code></td></tr><tr><td><em>(= first isolate per patient)</em></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Episode-based</strong></td><td><code>first_isolate(x, method = "episode-based")</code>, or:</td></tr><tr><td><em>(= first isolate per episode)</em></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>- 7-Day interval from initial isolate</td><td>- <code>first_isolate(x, method = "e", episode_days = 7)</code></td></tr><tr><td>- 30-Day interval from initial isolate</td><td>- <code>first_isolate(x, method = "e", episode_days = 30)</code></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Phenotype-based</strong></td><td><code>first_isolate(x, method = "phenotype-based")</code>, or:</td></tr><tr><td><em>(= first isolate per phenotype)</em></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>- Major difference in any antimicrobial result</td><td>- <code>first_isolate(x, type = "points")</code></td></tr><tr><td>- Any difference in key antimicrobial results</td><td>- <code>first_isolate(x, type = "keyantimicrobials")</code></td></tr></table></div>
<div class="section">
<h3 id="isolate-based">Isolate-based<a class="anchor" aria-label="anchor" href="#isolate-based"></a></h3>
<p>This method does not require any selection, as all isolates should be included. It does, however, respect all arguments set in the <code>first_isolate()</code> function. For example, the default setting for <code>include_unknown</code> (<code>FALSE</code>) will omit selection of rows without a microbial ID.</p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h3 id="patient-based">Patient-based<a class="anchor" aria-label="anchor" href="#patient-based"></a></h3>
<p>To include every genus-species combination per patient once, set the <code>episode_days</code> to <code>Inf</code>. Although often inappropriate, this method makes sure that no duplicate isolates are selected from the same patient. In a large longitudinal data set, this could mean that isolates are <em>excluded</em> that were found years after the initial isolate.</p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h3 id="episode-based">Episode-based<a class="anchor" aria-label="anchor" href="#episode-based"></a></h3>
<p>To include every genus-species combination per patient episode once, set the <code>episode_days</code> to a sensible number of days. Depending on the type of analysis, this could be 14, 30, 60 or 365. Short episodes are common for analysing specific hospital or ward data, long episodes are common for analysing regional and national data.</p>
<p>This is the most common method to correct for duplicate isolates. Patients are categorised into episodes based on their ID and dates (e.g., the date of specimen receipt or laboratory result). While this is a common method, it does not take into account antimicrobial test results. This means that e.g. a methicillin-resistant <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> (MRSA) isolate cannot be differentiated from a wildtype <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> isolate.</p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h3 id="phenotype-based">Phenotype-based<a class="anchor" aria-label="anchor" href="#phenotype-based"></a></h3>
<p>This is a more reliable method, since it also <em>weighs</em> the antibiogram (antimicrobial test results) yielding so-called 'first weighted isolates'. There are two different methods to weigh the antibiogram:</p><ol><li><p>Using <code>type = "points"</code> and argument <code>points_threshold</code> (default)</p>
<p>This method weighs <em>all</em> antimicrobial drugs available in the data set. Any difference from I to S or R (or vice versa) counts as <code>0.5</code> points, a difference from S to R (or vice versa) counts as <code>1</code> point. When the sum of points exceeds <code>points_threshold</code>, which defaults to <code>2</code>, an isolate will be selected as a first weighted isolate.</p>
<p>All antimicrobials are internally selected using the <code><a href="key_antimicrobials.html">all_antimicrobials()</a></code> function. The output of this function does not need to be passed to the <code>first_isolate()</code> function.</p></li>
<li><p>Using <code>type = "keyantimicrobials"</code> and argument <code>ignore_I</code></p>
<p>This method only weighs specific antimicrobial drugs, called <em>key antimicrobials</em>. Any difference from S to R (or vice versa) in these key antimicrobials will select an isolate as a first weighted isolate. With <code>ignore_I = FALSE</code>, also differences from I to S or R (or vice versa) will lead to this.</p>
<p>Key antimicrobials are internally selected using the <code><a href="key_antimicrobials.html">key_antimicrobials()</a></code> function, but can also be added manually as a variable to the data and set in the <code>col_keyantimicrobials</code> argument. Another option is to pass the output of the <code><a href="key_antimicrobials.html">key_antimicrobials()</a></code> function directly to the <code>col_keyantimicrobials</code> argument.</p></li>
</ol><p>The default method is phenotype-based (using <code>type = "points"</code>) and episode-based (using <code>episode_days = 365</code>). This makes sure that every genus-species combination is selected per patient once per year, while taking into account all antimicrobial test results. If no antimicrobial test results are available in the data set, only the episode-based method is applied at default.</p>
