The code for this project is hosted as Rmarkdown files at the GitHub repo for this project. Compiled HTML versions of Rmarkdown are hosted here:

• find_treated identifies and extracts users of TZ, DZ, AZ, and tamsulosin
• find_treated_demographics_enrollments adds enrollment and demographic data to ever users
• find_pd_dates finds the first diagnosis dates of PD for everyone in the Truven database
• reduce_treated_enrollments reduces the ever users enrollment periods, removes people with pre-existing PD
• find_luts_procs finds LUTS procedures (PSA measurement, uroflow, etc) in the Truven database
• build_model_data_treated builds the model data set for propensity score model estimation
• fit_psm generates the propensity score models and fitted values
• match generates matches, uses match.cpp for faster matching
• analysis/tz-tam does the TZ/DZ/AZ versus tamsulosin analysis
• analysis/tz-5ari does the TZ/DZ/AZ versus 5ARI analysis
• analysis/tam-5ari does the tamsulosin versus 5ARI analysis
