Details

Hypothetical dataset derived from the Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis from Geersing et al (2014). The dataset consists of consecutive outpatients with suspected deep vein thrombosis, with documented information on the presence or absence of proximal deep vein thrombosis (dvt) by an acceptable reference test. Acceptable such tests were either compression ultrasonography or venography at initial presentation, or, if venous imaging was not performed, an uneventful follow-up for at least three months.

Examples

# NOT RUN {

str(DVTipd) 
summary(apply(DVTipd,2,as.factor))
