Lifetable estimates with proc lifetest possible for recurrent events

sasstats — Mon, 06 Apr 2020 13:21:52 GMT

Hello altogether,

in our data we do have recurrent events (e.g. diagnosis of a special disease) per patient at different time points.

Our question is if it is possible to calulate life tables using proc lifetest with option method=LT in this case.

For example: one patient has 3 events in 3 different time intervals Interval_1, Interval_2 and Interval_3. Anther patient has 2 events in time intervall Interval_3 and Interval_4.

Is it possible to count the events of the first patient in all 3 time intervalls 1, 2 and 3?

For both patients that would mean: 1 event in Interval_1, Interval_2 and Interval_4 and 2 events in Interval_3.

Many thanks,

sasstats
