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$mdr <- mdr_tb(my_TB_data)
```
And review the result with a frequency table:
```{r}
freq(my_TB_data$mdr)
```
