Help calculating time from release to death

malena — Sat, 14 May 2016 00:42:20 GMT

I have a file that has admission and release dates since Jan 1, 2011. I then created monthly dummy variables whether or not the patient was committed (see code below)

I merged this file with mortality data and now I want to create several variables examining how soon after release the patient dies.

Death data is for 2013 and 2014. Month of death in the death file is month_death and year of death is year_death. So since we do not have the actual date, we want to create variables looking at: death on same month of release, at 2 months after release, at 3 months after release, at 6 months after release, at 12 months after release, at 15 months, at 18 months, at 24 months, at 36 months, and at 48 months.

here is my code with the admission/release and monthly counts for being in hospital

data DOC_3;

set prelimdoc2;

array admit (15) admission1 admission2 admission3 admission4 admission5 admission6 admission7 admission8

admission9 admission10 admission11 admission12 admission13 admission14 admission15;

Please post sample input and output data. This code looks too complicated and I'm sure there's a way to simplify it.

Please simplify it, present a few cases that represent your data and include what you want as output.
