Survival Analysis Time to Event

CathyVI — Thu, 13 Jan 2022 06:58:38 GMT

Hello,

Am new to this topic so I will appreciate any feedback.

I am to analyze the efficacy endpoint that include the occurrence of an infection between the last vaccination and the subsequent 168 days (2 month) and separately for the subsequent 532 (5 month) days if efficacy is shown for the initial follow-up period. The number censored are small, say < 10%, so I think the resulting bias is likely to be small and can be ignored (Please let me know any other thoughts).

Question1: I have these following dates but am not sure which ones I’ll use to calculate my survival time.

SubjectReferenceStartDate SubjectReferenceEndDate DateofFirstStudyTreatment DateofLastStudyTreatment DateofEndofParticipation.

Question 2: How do I create a variables e.g. XYZ and that will be use in the TIME statement in PROC LIFETEST calculation ?

For example:

proc lifetest data= A notable;

time survtime*censor(0);

strata treat;

run;

I have created this artificial data with variable of interest to help demonstrate my idea and I included the dates in the first few encounter.

Hello,

I have moved your post to the "statistical procedures" board (as it is a question on survival | time-to-event analysis).

Higher probability to get a proper answer here.

By the way,

I hope this question is different than the one in this post :
"Efficacy Time to event"
https://communities.sas.com/t5/Statistical-Procedures/Efficacy-Time-to-event/m-p/790028#M38732

If not ..., I want to say you should not post 2 times the same question.

If you think the 1st question is not clear enough, then clarify with an additional post in the same topic thread.

I could not judge if these 2 were asking the same , as I have not read your posts in detail.

Thanks,

Koen
