pretty_percent

This function formats numeric variables as percentages with a specified
number of decimal places. It refines the output by removing unnecessary
trailing zeros after the decimal point and ensures the percentage sign is
correctly applied without extraneous characters, resulting in a polished,
human-readable percentage representation.

Hospitals, hospital systems, and even trauma systems that provide care to injured patients
may not be aware of robust metrics that can help gauge the efficacy of their programs in saving the lives
of injured patients. 'traumar' provides robust functions driven by the academic literature to
automate the calculation of relevant metrics to individuals desiring to measure the performance of their
trauma center or even a trauma system. 'traumar' also provides some helper functions for the data analysis
journey. Users can refer to the following publications for descriptions of the methods used in 'traumar'.
