Checks
- Every check now carries a plain-language rule and guidance on what to do when
it flags;
check_catalogue() lists them and the app shows them next to each
finding.
run_nmpk_checks() returns a title column, and partial thresholds lists
fall back to default_thresholds(). New thresholds: outlier_iqr_k and
predose_cmax_frac.
- New findings: DV or MDV = 0 on dose records (CORE-OBS-001), DV below LLOQ
without a BLQ flag (CORE-OBS-002), non-numeric
ID (CORE-STRUCT-002), missing
EVID (CORE-STRUCT-003), ID versus USUBJID uniqueness (CORE-INT-001),
exclusion reason on a record that is not excluded (CORE-MR-001), ADDL on
non-dose records (CORE-DOSE-005), and placeholder RATE values or
AMT / RATE / DUR disagreement (CORE-DOSE-006).
- Fewer false positives: outliers are compared within nominal time point and
analyte (CORE-OBS-005, CORE-TIME-004), BLQ troughs before the next dose are
not "mid-profile" (CORE-OBS-003), ordinary dose levels are not outliers
(CORE-DOSE-002),
TIME may restart on reset records (CORE-TIME-001), and
time-varying covariates are no longer reported as inconsistent fixed
covariates (CORE-COV-001, CORE-COV-006).
- Changed rules: predose concentrations are compared with 5% of the subject's
Cmax (CORE-OBS-004); covariate outliers use boxplot fences and cover more
covariates (CORE-COV-004); missingness is reported by event type and flags
only unexpected gaps (CORE-STRUCT-006); duplicates are split into exact rows
and conflicting values (CORE-STRUCT-005); cross-study medians are compared
from two studies upwards (CORE-INT-003); CORE-MR-003 lists the subjects
flagged by other checks.
USUBJID and VISIT are canonical variables; USUBJID is no longer preferred
over a numeric identifier for ID.
App
- Built-in example datasets can be loaded from the Data tab.
- Uploads accept comma-, semicolon-, tab-, and space-delimited text and read
., the NONMEM null value, as missing.
- Findings is the main workspace: it lists the checks to review with triage
progress, and for the selected check shows the rule, guidance, the profile of
each affected subject, all result tables, and the triage decision, which is
saved as it is entered.
- Overview describes the dataset before any check runs: all concentration-time
profiles (by time since first dose or after the last dose), dose levels, and
missing values by event type.
- The sidebar is replaced by a status line with the dataset, the state of the
last run, and a run button; thresholds moved to the Data tab.
- Profiles can be filtered by check; new Check library tab.
- Results are cleared when another dataset is confirmed; a column can no longer
be mapped to two variables.
- New compact, neutral theme. The Data tab shows the three steps next to the
data preview; the status line stays visible while scrolling; the Findings tab
shows the number of checks to review; severity, result, and triage state are
shown as badges; plots use a colour-blind safe palette.
