Detailed Description

This macro creates episodes of claims with a given tolerance gap between two consecutive claims.

Program inputs

&INFILE. (Dataset containing the claims to create episodes with.)

Program outputs

&EPISTARTFILE. (Dataset containing dates to start all episodes.)
&OUTFILE. (Dataset containing the created episodes.)

Usage

%ms_createclaimepi(INFILE=_GroupIndex&CohortId.(keep=patid adate expiredt enr_start rxsup), 
                   %if &mincumdose. ne . | &mincfdd. ne . | &maxcfdd. ne . %then %do;
                   EPISTARTFILE=_pov1&cohortid., 
                   %end;
                   %else %do;
                   EPISTARTFILE=, 
                   %end;
                   GAP=&&episodegap&paramsuffix.,
                   GAPTYPE=&&EpisodeGapType&paramsuffix.,
                   OUTFILE=_POV4&CohortId.);

Parameters

[in]	INFILE	Dataset containing the claims to create episodes with.
[in]	EPISTARTFILE	Dataset containing dates to start all episodes.
[in]	GAP	Maximum allowable gap between two claim (based on Adate Expiredt and EnrStart).
[in]	GAPTYPE	Specifies the type of algorithm to use for the calculation of episode gaps.
[out]	OUTFILE	Dataset containing the episodes with gap tolerance.
