Hi,

I need some help figuring out how to use the loss=exp(hazard=hazard rate) option in proc seqdesign correctly.  If the trial is expected to have 10% drop out total, but most is early (within 4 months of randomization), what's the proper (or best) way to calculate the hazard rate?  Any help vastly appreciated.

The dropout rate were also converted to group loss hazards in the same way. Therefore, the 5% dropout rate for 70 months duration was corresponding to the group loss hazard of -ln(1-dropout rate)/StudyDuration =-ln(1-0.05)/70= 0.00073.
