ParallelLogger 3.4.1 has been released. This contains a minor workaround for an odd testing server in CRAN.

schuemie · April 7, 2025, 11:13am

SelfControlledCaseSeries 5.3.2 has been released. This is a small patch for an edge case causing an error for calendar time splines when there are cases, but not in the study period.

mvankessel · April 7, 2025, 11:32am

TreatmentPatterns 3.0.2 is released on CRAN and GitHub. This patch contains compatibility updates with all HADES supported databases. There is an overview in the ReadMe; Fixed an edge case; and fixed compatibility with older R (4.2) versions.

jpegilbert · April 15, 2025, 4:09pm

CohortDiagnostics version 3.4.0 has been released. This includes a breaking change that removes cohort relationships diagnostics as functionality has been fully implemented in FeatureExtraction. Included is a migration to change old results data (in sqlite or postgresql) to support future compatibility with shiny applications.

Please check the release notes for full details of changes.

jpegilbert · April 15, 2025, 4:12pm

OhdsiShinyModules 3.2.0 has been released. This contains changes to support the latest version of cohort diagnostics.
This will remain compatible with old data but migrating old CohortDiagnostics data will be required to use the cohort overlap features.

ginberg · April 22, 2025, 1:19pm

FeatureExtraction v3.9.0 has been released. The main change is that this release is compatible with the current and new version (1.0.0) of Andromeda.

egillax · April 22, 2025, 6:00pm

PatientLevelPrediction v6.4.1 has been released. This release includes only bugfixes. This is as well the first release with an automated multi-platform docker build-test-and-push as part of the release workflow.

mvankessel · April 24, 2025, 11:19am

TreatmentPatterns v3.0.3 was released last week. This release only includes compatibility changes with Andromeda 1.0.0, while maintaining compatibility with Andromeda 0.6.7.

schuemie · May 7, 2025, 1:26pm

Andromeda 1.0.0 has been released. This is a major update, where we switch the backend from SQLite to DuckDB for greatly improved performance and smaller file sizes.

This release is the result of large efforts especially by @Adam_Black and @billobrien for implementing the backend switch, but also by @mvankessel, @ginberg, and @msuchard for adapting HADES package to support this new version.

There might be some minor issues for a short while because of the weird way R does object inheritance between packages. It is critically important to rebuild FeatureExtraction, SelfControlledCaseSeries, and CohortMethod after upgrading to Andromeda 1.0.0, because these packages hold binary copies of the Andromeda class.

mvankessel · June 4, 2025, 7:47am

TreatmentPatterns v3.1.0 is released.

This release contains some new features:

Specify a window related to the target cohort, based on anchoring and offsets (similar to CohortMethod and SelfControlledCaseSeries)
The ability to choose how to deal with non-significant overlap between events. (@JamesBrash)
The ability to choose how to deal with multiple target cohorts for one person, i.e. should each occurrence be handled separately or not.
A function has been added to export patient-level data to csv-files. (@mdlavallee92)

schuemie · June 5, 2025, 7:56am

ParallelLogger 3.4.2 has been released. This includes 2 important fixes for bugs that were introduced in recent versions, one related to multi-threading memory allocation for Andromeda on MacOS, and one related to automatically capturing all messages, warnings, and errors in the log.

anthonysena · June 17, 2025, 6:39pm

Strategus v1.3.1 has been released. This is a patch release which fixes some bugs and provides support for CohortDiagnostics v3.4.

schuemie · June 27, 2025, 2:22pm

SelfControlledCaseSeries 6.0.0 has just been released. This a major release, with many changes as described in the change log. Most importantly, this version introduces a new set of study diagnostics, for all the major assumptions of the SCCS design. These new diagnostics will be described (and evaluated) in more detail in an upcoming paper.

The package is now also available in CRAN!

schuemie · July 16, 2025, 9:22am

SelfControlledCaseSeries 6.0.1 has been released. This contains a minor fix that caused R to crash when running many analyses on a very small dataset. Also, this release gets us back in CRAN (we were kicked out because some old testing CRAN servers threw errors that later disappeared by themselves)
