Analytic Methods

Posted by Chuck on Sep 14 2007 |

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
