hello

 

I have been searching the solution a while, but I couldn't find solutions in SAS in communities.

i want to make cumulative sum by group on different conditions.

 

the following data is raw data. it's about patient's medical utilization.

 

id date surgery_YN

1 2002/01/28 0
1 2002/02/15 0
1 2002/04/06 0
1 2002/06/07 1
1 2002/08/10 0
1 2003/01/12 0
2 2003/01/15 0
2 2003/02/10 1
2 2003/03/10 0
2 2003/04/08 0

 

i want calculate how many times patient visited clinics before he had surgery. so i want make data like this.

 

id date surgery_YN count

1 2002/01/28 0 1
1 2002/02/15 0 2
1 2002/04/06 0 3
1 2002/06/07 1 0
1 2002/08/10 0 0
1 2003/01/12 0 0
2 2003/01/15 0 1
2 2003/02/10 0 2
2 2003/03/10 1 0
2 2003/04/08 0 0

 

i used 'retain' code and i can make count '0' after surgery. but i don't know how to make cumulative sum before surgery. I wonder if anyone can help me a little bit. Thank you very much for your help!

Try something like this.

Disregard...I see what you're looking for is a little different. Try this.

data want (drop=had_surgery);
set have;
retain had_surgery;
by id;
count+1;
if surgery = 1 then do;
 count=0;
 had_surgery=1;
 end;
if had_surgery=1 then count=0;
if last.id then had_surgery=0;
run;

Also, if you post in the future, make sure to put the post in the correct community group. You will get a faster response. Something like this would be better in the SAS Programming community.

ID 2 record 2 in the want data is incorrect because the incoming data doesn't support the result to add +1 to the count.

Just for fun, second way:

data want;
 set have;
 by id;
 retain found;
 if first.id then do;found=0;count=0;end;
 count+1;
 if  surgery_YN=1 then found=1;
 if found then count=0;
 drop found;
run;

thank you for all advice.

 

to bobpep212, it worked out cumulative before surgery, but it didn't seperated by group. thank you for advice and correcting community group.

 

to VDD, I Intentionally make 'visiting data(billing data)' brief, and i think i made some error. but it worked out right. i really appreciate that.

 

for Ksharp, I tried VDD's code first. and he or she posted before your code. sorry for not trying your code.

if the data supports that an ID could have 2 or more surgeries that had no records between the surgeries where surgery_YN = 0, you could change the had_surgery =1 to had_surgery +1.
this would give you a count of sequential surgeries the patient had on the final surgery record for the span of the sequenced surgery records.

You're welcome. Glad you got it to work. Yeah, I realized my first post wasn't what you were looking for so I posted a second version that matched what you had in your want output. But you have lots of options that work here!
