It includes data related to chronic respiratory conditions such as **asthma, chronic bronchitis, and COPD**, as well as infectious diseases like **tuberculosis, pneumonia, influenza, and whooping cough**. In addition, it provides datasets on risk factors and interventions, including smoking habits and nicotine replacement therapies, which are critical in understanding the epidemiology and prevention of respiratory illnesses. ## Dataset Suffixes Each dataset in the `PulmoDataSets` package uses a `suffix` to denote the type of R object: - `_df`: data frame - `_dt`: data table - `_tbl_df`: tibble - `_ts`: time series Below are selected example datasets included in the `PulmoDataSets` package: - `bronchitis_Cardiff_df`: Chronic Bronchitis in Cardiff Men. - `smoking_UK_tbl_df`: UK Smoking Habits. - `nicotine_gum_df`: Nicotine Gum and Smoking Cessation. ## Data Visualization with PulmoDataSets Data ### Chronic Bronchitis in Cardiff Men ```{r bronchitis-Cardiff-plot, fig.width=6, fig.height=4.5, out.width="90%"} # Summary with .groups = "drop" to avoid the message (stored but not printed) summary_stats <- bronchitis_Cardiff_df %>% group_by(r, rfac) %>% summarise( mean_cig = mean(cig, na.rm = TRUE), mean_poll = mean(poll, na.rm = TRUE), count = n(), .groups = "drop" ) # Plot only ggplot(bronchitis_Cardiff_df, aes(x = cig, y = poll, color = factor(r))) + geom_point() + labs( title = "Cigarette Consumption vs Pollution", x = "Cigarette Consumption", y = "Pollution Level", color = "Bronchitis" ) + theme_minimal() ``` ### UK Smoking Habits ```{r UK-smoking-plot, fig.width=6, fig.height=4.5, out.width="90%"} smoking_summary <- smoking_UK_tbl_df %>% group_by(gender, smoke) %>% summarise(avg_amt_weekends = mean(amt_weekends, na.rm = TRUE), .groups = "drop") %>% filter(!is.na(avg_amt_weekends)) ggplot(smoking_summary, aes(x = gender, y = avg_amt_weekends, fill = smoke)) + geom_col(position = "dodge") + labs( title = "Average Weekend Smoking by Gender and Smoking Status", x = "Gender", y = "Average Cigarettes on Weekends", fill = "Smoke Status" ) + theme_minimal() ``` ### Nicotine Gum and Smoking Cessation ```{r nicotine-gum-plot, fig.width=6, fig.height=4.5, out.width="90%"} # Step 1: Calculate mean success rates (no extra packages) nicotine_summary <- nicotine_gum_df %>% summarize( treatment = sum(qt) / sum(tt), # Overall success rate (treatment) control = sum(qc) / sum(tc) # Overall success rate (control) ) # Step 2: Plot (manually reshape data without tidyr) ggplot(data.frame( group = c("Treatment", "Control"), success_rate = c(nicotine_summary$treatment, nicotine_summary$control) ), aes(group, success_rate, fill = group)) + geom_col(width = 0.5) + labs( title = "Nicotine Gum vs. Control (Overall Success Rate)", y = "Success Rate", x = "" ) + scale_fill_manual(values = c("Treatment" = "#1f77b4", "Control" = "#d62728")) + theme_minimal() + theme(legend.position = "none") ``` ## Conclusion `PulmoDataSets` package delivers ready-to-use respiratory datasets **(COPD, asthma, TB, pneumonia, etc.)** for clinical and epidemiological research. The package simplifies data access for modeling, teaching, and public health studies.
