ea1c: Calculate eA1C

Description

The function ea1c produces eA1C values in a tibble object.

Usage

ea1c(data)

Value

If a data.frame object is passed, then a tibble object with two columns: subject id and corresponding eA1C is returned. If a vector of glucose values is passed, then a tibble object with just the eA1C value is returned. as.numeric() can be wrapped around the latter to output just a numeric value.

Arguments

data

DataFrame object with column names "id", "time", and "gl", or numeric vector of glucose values.

Details

A tibble object with 1 row for each subject, a column for subject id and a column for eA1C values is returned. NA glucose values are omitted from the calculation of the eA1C.

eA1C score is calculated by \((46.7+mean(G))/28.7\) where G is the vector of Glucose Measurements (mg/dL).
