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: What will my variables be for the TIME statement ?
For example:
proc lifetest data= notable;
time survtime*censor(0);
strata treat;
run;
I have created this artificial data with variable of interest to help demonstrate my idea
