It looks like you have two populations and the output from -dstdize-
gives you the crude rates and the direct standardized rates. If you
want the total number of events in each population then use -summarize-.
summ events if population==1
local Npop1 = r(sum)
summ events if population==2
local Npop2 = r(sum)

Subject: st: modify dstdize to save no of events in the return list
just wondering if someone knows of an easy way to convince dstdize to
save the number of events (the numerators of the rates) in the return
list.
As it stands, dstdize (*! version 1.5.1 30jul2008) saves the
following matrices:
r(se) : 1 x 2
r(ub) : 1 x 2
r(lb) : 1 x 2
r(adj) : 1 x 2
r(crude) : 1 x 2
r(Nobs) : 1 x 2
r(Nobs) returns the denominator (the population size), but I can't
find the equivalent matrix for the denominators.
Many thanks,
