Detailed Description

This macro creates censor and followup time tables.

Re-scope global variable &CENSDAYS_VALUE_CAT. to local.
Add censorcat_sort as a class var.
Assign censdays_value_cat.
Create squared table.
Count the number of flag variables.
Loop through each group. It will only loop if the age stratification is the same across all groups.
- If all groups are running, then grouplist is blank. Otherwise only aggregate data for current group.
- Square categorical values, censdays_value_cat, and event_flag.
- Loop through each dplocal flag and assign msoc flag.
- Store patient nums to msoc.
- Summarize data.

Program inputs

dplocal.&RUNID._mstr (Dataset for Type 1 and Type 2 analyses with one record per individual per index date for every GROUP.)

Program outputs

msoc.&RUNID._censor_cida (Dataset containing information on time to censoring for Type 2 analyses.)
msoc.&RUNID._followuptime_cida (Dataset containing information on the number of episodes, event status, and reason for censoring for every day of follow-up for Type 2 analyses.)

Usage

%ms_createcensortable(TABLE=censor,                                                       
                      CONVAR=timetocensor,
                      CATVAR=censdays_value_cat,
                      DPLOCALFLAGLIST=cens_elig cens_dth cens_dpend cens_qryend,
                      MSOCFLAGLIST=cens_elig cens_dth cens_dpend cens_qryend);

Parameters

[in]	TABLE	Censor or followuptime.
[in]	CONVAR	continuous Followup time variable (timetocensor or followuptime).
[in]	CATVAR	categorical Followup time variable to save to DPLOCAL mstr file (censdays_value_cat or fupdays_value_cat).
[in]	DPLOCALFLAGLIST	List of flag variables in mstr to aggregate up.
[in]	MSOCFLAGLIST	List of flag variables to include in msoc aggregated table.

SAS Macros Dependencies

ms_squaredtableshell.sas

Note: Continuous variable censdays_value and categorical variable censdays_value_cat are included in the aggregated MSOC table regardless of which metric is being output.
