I am seeking to analyze time from tooth extraction to time to a 30%
reduction in pain with 4 active treatment arms and a placebo control in a 24
hr randomized, double-blind clinical trial. The dilemma is that after 1
hour, patients in sufficient pain are permitted to drop out of the study and
take rescue medication. Hence, this appears to be a case of informative
censoring.
Can list members suggest how to estimate an appropriate model in STATA (or
SAS)?
Thank you,
Mark
