SPARRAfairness - Analysis of Differential Behaviour of SPARRA Score Across
Demographic Groups
The SPARRA risk score (Scottish Patients At Risk of
admission and Re-Admission) estimates yearly risk of emergency
hospital admission using electronic health records on a monthly
basis for most of the Scottish population. This package
implements a suite of functions used to analyse the behaviour
and performance of the score, focusing particularly on
differential performance over demographically-defined groups.
It includes useful utility functions to plot
receiver-operator-characteristic, precision-recall and
calibration curves, draw stock human figures, estimate
counterfactual quantities without the need to re-compute risk
scores, to simulate a semi-realistic dataset.
