What is glcdp?

glcdp reaches 1.0.0 with a stable schema contract behind its data explorer.

glcdp imports light-logger data packages published to the GLC standard, driven by declared schemas rather than format-specific readers. 0.9.3 added glc_explore(), a Shiny application for browsing the registry and exporting an annotated reproducible script. 1.0.0 promotes schema 3.0.2 to the default and primary stable import contract and makes schema-declared variable types and factor-level order drive the import itself.

What is traumar?

Trauma registry statistics in R, tightening the numbers it reports against the literature.

traumar computes trauma-centre performance measures from registry data, including relative mortality metrics, SEQIC quality indicators and predicted survival probability. The recent releases are dominated by correctness rather than coverage: 1.2.5 changed how the denominator for SEQIC indicator 7 is derived so it reflects the definitive care population rather than a raw row count, and 1.2.3 realigned probability_of_survival() with published coefficients. Version 1.2.6 completes a deprecation, turning the old n_decimal argument into an error.

6.3

glcdp reaches 1.0.0 with a stable schema contract behind its data explorer.

◆ Current state

glcdp imports light-logger data packages published to the GLC standard, driven by declared schemas rather than format-specific readers. 0.9.3 added glc_explore(), a Shiny application for browsing the registry and exporting an annotated reproducible script. 1.0.0 promotes schema 3.0.2 to the default and primary stable import contract and makes schema-declared variable types and factor-level order drive the import itself.

◆ Where it's heading

The package is serving two audiences from one model. Programmatic users get glc_collect(), extract_metadata() and add_metadata(), with imports that reject file groups whose factor labels or level order disagree. Interactive users get an Explorer that filters by device, wearing position, modality, role and data state, pages large inventories at 100 rows, and caches remote metadata for immutable revisions. Schemas 1.0.0 and 2.0.0 stay reachable as barebones legacy paths.

◆ Prediction

With 3.0.2 named the primary stable contract and the older schemas explicitly labelled legacy, retiring the barebones paths is the most likely next structural move. The notes give no indication of work beyond the current schema line.

Trauma registry statistics in R, tightening the numbers it reports against the literature.

◆ Current state

traumar computes trauma-centre performance measures from registry data, including relative mortality metrics, SEQIC quality indicators and predicted survival probability. The recent releases are dominated by correctness rather than coverage: 1.2.5 changed how the denominator for SEQIC indicator 7 is derived so it reflects the definitive care population rather than a raw row count, and 1.2.3 realigned probability_of_survival() with published coefficients. Version 1.2.6 completes a deprecation, turning the old n_decimal argument into an error.

◆ Where it's heading

This is a package whose outputs are reported numbers, and it is behaving accordingly: the notable changes in this window alter results rather than add features. A denominator computed as a row count instead of a filtered population, and a survival calculation not matching the coefficients it cites, are both the kind of defect that quietly propagates into published figures, and both were corrected here. Around that sit in-house validation helpers written deliberately to avoid a new dependency, and a steady tidy-up of tests and tooling.

◆ Prediction

Expect the validation family introduced in 1.2.4 to be applied more widely across the package's entry points, now that it exists and is deliberately kept internal. Further SEQIC indicators being reviewed against their definitions looks likely given indicator 7 needed it, though the entries name no specific one as next.
