I'm new to R and currently trying to subset my data according to my predefined exclusion criteria for analysis. I'm presently trying to remove all cases that have dementia, as coded by the ICD-10. Problem is that there are multiple variables containing information on each individual's disease status (~70 variables), although as they are coded in the same way, the same condition can be applied to all of them.

Some simulated data:

#Create dataframe containing simulated data
df = data.frame(ID = c(1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005,1006,1007,1008,1009,1010,1011),
 disease_code_1 = c('I802','H356','G560','D235','B178','F011','F023','C761','H653','A049','J679'),
 disease_code_2 = c('A071','NA','G20','NA','NA','A049','NA','NA','G300','G308','A045'),
 disease_code_3 = c('H250','NA','NA','I802','NA','A481','NA','NA','NA','NA','D352'))

#data is structured as below:

 ID disease_code_1 disease_code_2 disease_code_3
1 1001 I802 A071 H250
2 1002 H356 NA NA
3 1003 G560 G20 NA
4 1004 D235 NA I802
5 1005 B178 NA NA
6 1006 F011 A049 A481
7 1007 F023 NA NA
8 1008 C761 NA NA
9 1009 H653 G300 NA
10 1010 A049 G308 NA
11 1011 J679 A045 D352

Here, I'm trying to remove any case that has a 'dementia code' across any of the "disease_code" variables.

#Remove cases with dementia from dataframe (e.g. F023, G20)
Newdata_df <- subset(df, (2:4 != "F023"|"G20"|"F009"|"F002"|"F001"|"F000"|"F00"| 
 "G309"| "G308"|"G301"|"G300"|"G30"| "F01"|"F018"|"F013"|
 "F012"| "F011"| "F010"|"F01"))

The error that I recieve is:

Error in 2:4 != "F023" | "G20" : 
 operations are possible only for numeric, logical or complex types

Ideally, the subsetted dataframe would look like this:

 ID disease_code_1 disease_code_2 disease_code_3
1 1001 I802 A071 H250
2 1002 H356 NA NA
4 1004 D235 NA I802
5 1005 B178 NA NA
8 1008 C761 NA NA
11 1011 J679 A045 D352

I know that there is an error in my code although I'm not sure how exactly to fix it. I've tried a few other ways (using dplyr) although haven't had any luck so far.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

One dplyr possibility could be:

df %>%
 filter_at(vars(2:4), all_vars(! . %in% c("F023","G20","F009","F002","F001","F000","F00", 
 "G309", "G308","G301","G300","G30", "F01","F018","F013",
 "F012", "F011", "F010","F01")))

 ID disease_code_1 disease_code_2 disease_code_3
1 1001 I802 A071 H250
2 1002 H356 NA NA
3 1004 D235 NA I802
4 1005 B178 NA NA
5 1008 C761 NA NA
6 1011 J679 A045 D352

In this case, it checks whether any of the columns 2:4 contains any of the given codes.

Or:

df %>%
 filter_at(vars(contains("disease_code")), all_vars(! . %in% c("F023","G20","F009","F002","F001","F000","F00", 
 "G309", "G308","G301","G300","G30", "F01","F018","F013",
 "F012", "F011", "F010","F01")))

In this case, it checks whether any of the columns with names disease_code contains any of the given codes.

We can create a vector with the codes to be removed and use rowSums to remove, i.e.

codes_to_remove <- c("F023", "G20", "F009", "F002", "F001", "F000", "F00", "G309", "G308",
 "G301", "G300", "G30", "F01", "F018", "F013", "F012", "F011", "F010", "F01")

df[rowSums(sapply(df[-1], `%in%`, codes_to_remove)) == 0,]

which gives,

 ID disease_code_1 disease_code_2 disease_code_3
1 1001 I802 A071 H250
2 1002 H356 NA NA
4 1004 D235 NA I802
5 1005 B178 NA NA
8 1008 C761 NA NA
11 1011 J679 A045 D352

As mentioned in comments by @docendo discimus we can convert the dataframe to long format using gather, group_by ID and select only those IDs which do not have dementia_code in them and then spread them back to wide format.

library(tidyverse)

df %>%
 gather(key, value, -ID) %>%
 group_by(ID) %>%
 filter(!any(value %in% dementia_code)) %>%
 spread(key, value)

# ID disease_code_1 disease_code_2 disease_code_3
# <dbl> <chr> <chr> <chr> 
#1 1001 I802 A071 H250 
#2 1002 H356 NA NA 
#3 1004 D235 NA I802 
#4 1005 B178 NA NA 
#5 1008 C761 NA NA 
#6 1011 J679 A045 D352 

data

dementia_code <- c("F023", "G20", "F009", "F002", "F001", "F000", "F00", "G309", 
"G308","G301", "G300", "G30", "F01", "F018", "F013", "F012", "F011", "F010", "F01")

How about this:

> dementia <- c("F023", "G20", "F009", "F002", "F001", "F000", "F00", "G309", "G308",
+ "G301", "G300", "G30", "F01", "F018", "F013", "F012", "F011", "F010", "F01")
> 
> dementia <- apply(sapply(df[, -1], function(x) x %in% dementia), 1, any)
> 
> df[!dementia,]
 ID disease_code_1 disease_code_2 disease_code_3
1 1001 I802 A071 H250
2 1002 H356 NA NA
4 1004 D235 NA I802
5 1005 B178 NA NA
8 1008 C761 NA NA
11 1011 J679 A045 D352

Edit:

An even more elegant solution, thanks to @ Ronan Shah:

> df[apply(df[-1], 1, function(x) !any(x %in% dementia)),]
 ID disease_code_1 disease_code_2 disease_code_3
1 1001 I802 A071 H250
2 1002 H356 NA NA
4 1004 D235 NA I802
5 1005 B178 NA NA
8 1008 C761 NA NA
11 1011 J679 A045 D352

Hope it helps.

We can use melt/dcast from data.table

library(data.table)
dcast(melt(setDT(df), id.var = 'ID')[,
 if(!any(value %in% dementia_codes)) .SD, .(ID)], ID ~ variable)
# ID disease_code_1 disease_code_2 disease_code_3
#1: 1001 I802 A071 H250
#2: 1002 H356 NA NA
#3: 1004 D235 NA I802
#4: 1005 B178 NA NA
#5: 1008 C761 NA NA
#6: 1011 J679 A045 D352

Or this can be done more compactly in base R with no reshaping

df[!Reduce(`|`, lapply(df[-1], `%in%` , dementia_codes)),]
 # ID disease_code_1 disease_code_2 disease_code_3
#1 1001 I802 A071 H250
#2 1002 H356 NA NA
#4 1004 D235 NA I802
#5 1005 B178 NA NA
#8 1008 C761 NA NA
#11 1011 J679 A045 D352
