These pages are intended as a resource for analysts to reference when conducting database research analyses. Analytic methods including text and graphical description will be described here along with sample SAS code.

***** I will be adding a page to compute Mantel Haenszel Risk Ratios very soon *****

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

1.) THIN Database SAS code: creating an operational Patient level table (building patient enrollment periods)
2.) Techincal plan example
3.) Case-Control analysis: building cohorts, matching of controls and analytic data set
4.) Building Drug Therapy Episodes
5.) Drug Therapy Episodes – Defining: Drug Discontinuations, Drug Switches, Drug Switch/Adds
6.) Drug Therapy Episodes: Current, Recent, Past periods
7.) Cohort analysis: carving person-time to age buckets

• Summarize to age/sex buckets
• Mantel-Haenszel age/sex adjusted Rate Ratio and Risk Ratios
• Shell result table displaying M-H RR

8.) Epidemiology Insight Query Tool: A tool used to analyze data based on a pre-determined set of reference codes

• Build cohorts of interest
• Produce patient level profiles of medical history from database
• Compute incidence/prevalence rates
• Crude RRs, M-H age/sex adjusted RRs
• RRs from a matched cohort design
• Case-Control analysis
