How to find Readmission cause for Index Event in National Readmission ...

drkrunal · Posted 12-24-2018 04:46 PM

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!

No doubt there is specific sas code you could use. Show us some specific sample data - namely a data step with the initial data, and a data step with the desired data.

--------------------------
The hash OUTPUT method will overwrite a SAS data set, but not append. That can be costly. Consider voting for Add a HASH object method which would append a hash object to an existing SAS data set

Would enabling PROC SORT to simultaneously output multiple datasets be useful? Then vote for
Allow PROC SORT to output multiple datasets
