Description

The integrity package implements the IPD Integrity Tool, a structured and transparent framework for evaluating the integrity of individual participant data (IPD) from randomised trials (see Hunter et al. (2024) <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1738> and <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1739>). It supports users to identify potential issues, such as unusual data patterns, implausible values, lack of expected correlations, date violations, and inconsistencies. The package provides reproducible workflows for screening, documenting and summarising integrity concerns, and may be applied by evidence synthesists, editors, and others to determine whether a randomised trial may be considered sufficiently trustworthy to contribute to the evidence base that informs policy and practice.
