Drug Ontology Parsing Engine (DOPE)

The goal of DOPE is to provide a structured vocabulary and tools to look up details on drugs tracked by the DEA. The data structure is:

Installation

Official Release

You can install the released version of DOPE from CRAN with:

install.packages("DOPE")

Development Release

Run these two lines of code to install tidyREDCap from GitHub (this requires RTools for Windows or Xcode for Mac to be installed on your computer):

if (!requireNamespace("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("labouz/DOPE")

Examples

You can look up details on a drug with the lookup() function. It will check brand, generic and street names.

library(DOPE)
lookup("adderall")
lookup("ketamine")
lookup("auntie")

The lookup funciton supports vectorized lookups:

library(DOPE)
lookup("cheese", "pizza", "with", "a", "soda")

If your only care about the category and/or class and/or if you serach returns many matches you can use the compress_lookup() function to drop columns and then remove duplicate rorws.

lookup("cheese", "pizza", "with", "a", "soda") %>% 
  compress_lookup(compressCategory = FALSE,
                  compressClass = TRUE,
                  compressSynonym = TRUE)
