how to get rid of leading zeros in the tables created by gtsummary package in R?


I wonder if there is an easy way to get rid of the leading zeros in the regression tables created by gtsummary package in R? I love this package for its functionality but not sure if there is an easy way to format the table to comply with APA guidelines (e.g., no leading zeros for p values)? Thanks!


Solution

  • Use the argument tbl_regression(pvalue_fun=) to change the way the p-values are rounded and formatted. Example below!

    library(gtsummary)
    packageVersion("gtsummary")
    #> [1] '1.4.1'
    
    # formatting function for p-values that removes leading 0
    apa_pvalues <- function(x) {
      style_pvalue(x, digits = 2) %>%
        stringr::str_replace("0.", ".")
    }
    
    tbl <- 
      lm(marker ~ age + grade, trial) %>%
      tbl_regression(pvalue_fun = apa_pvalues)
