Extracts and returns statistics from a tbl_summary() object for inline reporting in an R markdown document. Detailed examples in the inline_text vignette

# S3 method for class 'tbl_summary'
inline_text(
  x,
  variable,
  column = NULL,
  level = NULL,
  pattern = NULL,
  pvalue_fun = label_style_pvalue(prepend_p = TRUE),
  ...
)

# S3 method for class 'tbl_svysummary'
inline_text(
  x,
  variable,
  column = NULL,
  level = NULL,
  pattern = NULL,
  pvalue_fun = label_style_pvalue(prepend_p = TRUE),
  ...
)

Examples

t1 <- trial |>
  tbl_summary(by = trt, include = grade) |>
  add_p()

inline_text(t1, variable = grade, level = "I", column = "Drug A", pattern = "{n}/{N} ({p}%)")
#> 35/98 (36%)
inline_text(t1, variable = grade, column = "p.value")
#> [1] "p=0.9"
