Thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of the -bmjcip- package is now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this, or -adoupdate- if you already have an old version.
The -bmjcip- package is described as below on my website. The new version is updated to take advantage of the new capabilities of the new version of -sdecode- (announced earlier today), which should also be installed if the new -bmjcip- is to work. It also adds 2 new options -refexp()-, specifying an expression identifying parameters corresponding to reference values of factors, and -reflabel()-, specifying how the confidence limit and/or P-value variables will be decoded for these reference parameters.
Best wishes

TITLE
bmjcip: Format confidence intervals and P-values for medical journals
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
bmjcip reformats a list of numeric variables, containing estimates
and/or confidence limits and/or P-values, to string variables,
containing the same values formatted for presentation in medical
journals. The new string variables replace the old numeric
variables, and have the same names, variable labels, variable
characteristics, and positions in the dataset. bmjcip is usually
used in output datasets (or resultssets) produced by the parmest
package, and the reformatted string variables are usually later
output using the listtab package, for input to Microsoft Word or
other word processors. It requires the sdecode package in order to
work. The sdecode, parmest and listtab packages can all be
downloaded from SSC.
