Contributing to egfr

Thanks for taking the time to contribute! The following is a short set of guidelines for contributing to egfr.

Reporting bugs

• Search the existing issues first to avoid duplicates.
• Open a new issue with a minimal reprex (a small, self-contained, reproducible example). For an eGFR equation, please include the inputs, the value you got, and the value you expected (with a reference where possible).

Pull requests

1. Fork the repository and create a branch off main.
2. Make your change. Keep the scope focused.
3. Add or update tests in tests/testthat/ and run devtools::test().
4. Run devtools::document() if you changed any roxygen comments.
5. Ensure R CMD check passes cleanly (devtools::check()).
6. Open a pull request describing the change and linking any related issue.

Code style

• Follow the tidyverse style guide.
• Code is linted with lintr; see .lintr for the configuration used in CI.

Scientific accuracy

Because this package implements published clinical equations, any new equation or change to an existing one must cite a peer-reviewed source and include tests that reproduce published reference values.
