How Do I Apply Recode a Variable Based on Specified Conditions

Jim224 — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 02:50:18 GMT

Greetings SAS Experts,

I really need your help. I have the sample data for year 2021 below. For each patient ID, a missing discharge date means the patient is still hospitalized. My final aim is to calculate the number of days each patient spends outside the hospital. Thus, I would like to employ the following for missing discharge dates.

1) If distinct patient ID with only one claim, (e.g; patient id 3 and 10, I would like to recode missing discahrge dates as end of the year (31DEC2021).

2) If admit date for last claim is missing (e.g for patient ID 4, claim F, discharge date should be recoded as end of the year (31DEC2021) and patient ID 9 claim AD)

3) If consecutive admit dates are the same and discharge date is missing, missing discharge date should be coded as the first non-missing discharge date with same admit date (e.g patient ID 6 claim L, recoded as 24DEC2021 (because of same admit date as claim M) , Patient ID 8, claims U,V,W discharge date recoded as 22OCT2021 (because of same admit date as claim X), Patient ID 9, claims AA, AB (because of same admit date as claim AC).

All the codes I tried didn't work correctly. I have attached what the dataset should look like (want dataset) Thank you very much
