Research Electronic Data CAPture (REDCap) is a web application for creating and managing online surveys and databases. Clinical data management is an essential process before performing any statistical analysis to ensure the quality and reliability of study information. Processing REDCap data in R can be complex and often benefits from automation. While there are several R packages available for specific tasks, none offer an expansive approach to data management.
The REDCapDM is an R package for accessing and managing REDCap data. It imports data from REDCap to R using either an API connection or the files in R format exported directly from REDCap. It has several functions for data processing and transformation, and it helps to generate and manage queries to clarify or resolve discrepancies found in the data.
The REDCapDM package is a valuable tool for data scientists and clinical data managers who use REDCap and R. It assists in tasks such as importing, processing, and quality-checking data from their research studies.

REDCapDM 是一个用于访问和管理 REDCap 数据的 R 包。它使用 API 连接或直接从 REDCap 导出的 R 格式文件将数据从 REDCap 导入到 R 中。它具有几个用于数据处理和转换的功能,并有助于生成和管理查询,以澄清或解决数据中的差异。
REDCapDM 包是使用 REDCap 和 R 的数据科学家和临床数据经理的有价值工具。它有助于从他们的研究中导入、处理和检查数据等任务。
