This is superb! A great review. Succinct yet thorough!

[@vagiapatsoukaki5693]

Thank you! I am trying to do a survival analysis for a 5 year interval (60 months) and although i choose baseline as the enter time, the first entry begins at 56 (events happened before this). Why is this happening?

Do you still need assistance?

[@meryastriyannimery8802]

if we have date of begin and date of follow up, how we make survival time?

[@statacorp]

With *stset* you can specify whether you have an indicator variable for failure, or whether certain values of a variable indicate failure. If you could please email us at [e-mail] with more information about your dataset, we would be happy to help. Note that you can also type *help stset* and look at the fully worked examples.

I don't understand, this is example data set, how I put my own data into it?

[@statacorp]

Contact us at [e-mail] and someone on our Technical Services team should be able to assist you with this.

If died = 1 when patient died and died = 0 when patient failed to die, than why is the failure value 1 and not 0?

[@mirandaameise1726]

because death is the failure event, so failure=died.

[@nicolaestefanbogaciu1075]

@@mirandaameise1726 that doesn't make sense, because the event we are waiting for is death. Replace death with event. When event takes place you mark 1, when event fails to take place you mark 0.

[@ntobekozondi913]

@@nicolaestefanbogaciu1075 It's not really the event you are waiting for. remember you doing a study for a specific period. the outcome is either death or alive
