Handing multiple checkboxes variable

[pbilodeau94]

Hi! Very nice package. I'm working with survey data that has multiple checkboxes variable, where dummy variables are created for each factor e.g comorbidities___1, 2, 3, etc. I tried using the solution from #98 and it correctly creates the header and subcategories, but I have not been able to pull the data.

label (demographics_table$Age_at_nmo_diagnosis) <- "Age at NMO diagnosis" label (demographics_table$Follow_up_time) <- "Follow-up (in years)" demographics_table$comorbidities <- 1:nrow (demographics_table) label(demographics_table$comorbidities) <- "Comorbidities, n (%)"

rndr <- function(x, name, ...) { if (name == "comorbidities") { vars <- c("Autoimmune disease", "Psychiatric disorders (anxiety or depression, mania, psychosis)", "Neurologic disorders (including migraines)", "Vascular risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia)", "Coronary artery disease or ischemic heart disease", "Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma", "Chronic kidney disease", "Cancer", "None") y <- sapply(vars, function(var) { render.default(dat[[var]][x])[2] }) names(y) <- sapply(vars, function(var) { l <- label(dat$var) if (is.null(l)) var else l }) c("", y) } else { # For numeric variables, perform Shapiro-Wilk test and render based on its result if (is.numeric(x)) { shapiro_test_result <- shapiro.test(x) what <- ifelse(shapiro_test_result$p.value > 0.05, "Mean (SD)", # If p-value > 0.05, data is considered normally distributed "Median [IQR]") # If p-value <= 0.05, data is considered not normally distributed parse.abbrev.render.code(c("", what))(x) } else { # For non-numeric variables, use default rendering render.default(x, name, ...) } } } table1(~ Age + sex + ethnicity + race + bmi + Age_at_nmo_diagnosis + Follow_up_time + living_deceased + mrs_lastfu + comorbidities| aqp4, data = demographics_table, render = rndr)

Do you know of an easy way to show those variables in the table?
