How to find Readmission cause for Index Event in National Readmission Database (NRD)?

drkrunal — Mon, 24 Dec 2018 21:46:05 GMT

While doing analysis on NRD database with SAS 9.4, I defined IndexEvent using primary diagnosis variable (DX1) and calculated 30-day readmission rates for IndexEvent.

I want to find out the Primary Diagnosis for Readmission. I want to know the reason for readmission if its same as IndexEvent or any other reason for Readmisssion. Which variable I should use to look for Readmission Primary Diagnosis?? Any Specific SAS code I should use??

Anyone familiar with this please guide.

Thank you in advance!
