Converts data to a list of data frames split by item_group. It is currently
not needed to provide the application data in this format. However, the
function can be useful for clinsight data customization, especially in
combination with create_table(). It creates table classes of the
item_group name (in lower case letters, and all punctuation replaced by an
underscore), as long as there is a method available with the corresponding
item_group name for the function create_table(). If all data is of type
'continuous', then laboratory values such as lab limits and units are
cleaned.
Arguments
- data
A data frame, commonly raw data merged with metadata using the function
merge_meta_with_data().- meta
A data frame with metadata. Used to retrieve all expected item names and to retrieve the form types (continuous data, other data, ...).
