ab_property
Get Properties of an Antibiotic
Description
Use these functions to return a specific property of an antibiotic from the antibiotics data set. All input values will be evaluated internally with as.ab().
Usage
ab_name(x, language = get_locale(), tolower = FALSE, ...) ab_atc(x, ...) ab_cid(x, ...) ab_synonyms(x, ...) ab_tradenames(x, ...) ab_group(x, language = get_locale(), ...) ab_atc_group1(x, language = get_locale(), ...) ab_atc_group2(x, language = get_locale(), ...) ab_loinc(x, ...) ab_ddd(x, administration = "oral", units = FALSE, ...) ab_info(x, language = get_locale(), ...) ab_url(x, open = FALSE, ...) ab_property(x, property = "name", language = get_locale(), ...)
Arguments
x |
any (vector of) text that can be coerced to a valid antibiotic code with |
language |
language of the returned text, defaults to system language (see |
tolower |
logical to indicate whether the first character of every output should be transformed to a lower case character. This will lead to e.g. "polymyxin B" and not "polymyxin b". |
... |
other arguments passed on to |
administration |
way of administration, either |
units |
a logical to indicate whether the units instead of the DDDs itself must be returned, see Examples |
open |
browse the URL using |
property |
one of the column names of one of the antibiotics data set |
Details
All output will be translated where possible.
The function ab_url() will return the direct URL to the official WHO website. A warning will be returned if the required ATC code is not available.
Value
-
A named list in case of
ab_info()and multipleab_synonyms()/ab_tradenames() -
A character in all other cases
Stable Lifecycle
The lifecycle of this function is stable. 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.
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.
