Package 'EpiReport'

Title: Epidemiological Report
Description: Drafting an epidemiological report in 'Microsoft Word' format for a given disease, similar to the Annual Epidemiological Reports published by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Through standalone functions, it is specifically designed to generate each disease specific output presented in these reports and includes: - Table with the distribution of cases by Member State over the last five years; - Seasonality plot with the distribution of cases at the European Union / European Economic Area level, by month, over the past five years; - Trend plot with the trend and number of cases at the European Union / European Economic Area level, by month, over the past five years; - Age and gender bar graph with the distribution of cases at the European Union / European Economic Area level. Two types of datasets can be used: - The default dataset of dengue 2015-2019 data; - Any dataset specified as described in the vignette.

disease

character string, disease code (default "DENGUE").

year

numeric, year to produce the graph for (default 2019).

reportParameters

dataframe, dataset including the required parameters for the graph and report production (default AERparams) (see specification of the dataset in the package vignette with browseVignettes(package = "EpiReport"))

pathPNG

character string, full path to the folder containing the maps in PNG (default 'maps' folder included in the package system.file("maps", package = "EpiReport"))

namePNGsuffix

character string, suffix of the PNG file name of the map (i.e. "COUNT", "RATE" or "AGESTANDARDISED".)

Value

Dataset including Salmonellosis data for 2012-2016

Description

A dataset containing the data and indicators required to build the epidemiological report for Salmonellosis 2016 TESSy data (default dataset used throughout EpiReport)

Usage

SALM2016

Format

A data frame with 60,775 rows and 18 variables:

HealthTopicCode

Disease code e.g. ANTH, SALM, etc.

MeasureLabel

optional) Label of the measure indicator

MeasurePopulation

Population targeted by the measure indicator

MeasureCode

Code of the measure indicator

MeasureId

(optional) Measure indicator ID

MeasureType

(optional) Type of measure indicator

TimeUnit

Unit of the time variable i.e. Y for yearly data or M for monthly data

GeoLevel

(optional) Geographical level e.g. 1, 2, etc

TimeCode

Time variable including dates in any formats available (according to the unit defined in TimeUnit) yearly data (e.g. 2001) or monthly data (e.g. 2001-01)

GeoCode

XValue

(optional) XValue

XLabel

The label associated with the x-axis in the epidemiological report (see getAgeGender() and plotAgeGender() bar graph for the age variable)

YValue

The value associated with the y-axis in the epidemiological report (see plotAge() bar graph for the variable age, or getTableByMS() for the number of cases, rate or age-standardised rate in the table by Member States by year)

YLabel

The label associated with the y-axis in the epidemiological report (see getAgeGender() and plotAgeGender() bar graph for the grouping variable gender)

ZValue

fsize

numeric, font to use (Default 7)

fname

character, font name (Default "Tahoma")

maincolor

character string, hexadecimal code for the header background color (Default EcdcColors(col_scale = "green", n=1))
