Martine Ettiene:
This sounds like a "cohort" of patients who were defined at time 1 and
about whom information was gathered at time 2
Some questions to clarify your problem:
1. What was the event of interest? Could the event have happened
more than once to a patient?
2. When you say, "retrospective", do you mean that, if the event took
place between time 1 and time 2 you have the date?
3. Are there any patients for which the only information is that the
event took place between time 1 and time 2, but the dates are
uncertain (e.g. you have only month) or missing?
4. Are there patients for whom you have _no_ information at time 2?
For your information: Our program is spelled "Stata", not "STATA"
(see section 8.2 of the FAQ).
