Re: st: SVY medians and Elixhauser

[Steve Samuels <sjsamuels@gmail.com>]

To get medians and other quantiles with survey data, use Roger Newson's
-sccendif- command, part of his -scsomersd- package, available from
SSC. It will compute medians and CIs that account for the weighting and
first stage clusters, but not the survey strata. You'll have to
download some additional commands. Details are in the -help-.

Hi All,

I am using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample 2008 and have been having
trouble with two things:

1.  I would like to find median values for some of my continuous variables,
but have not yet found a way to do this while using SVY.

2. I want to use the Elixhauser comorbidity index in my logistic regression
model and have downloaded the code, but do not know how to actually use
it.

I would really appreciate anyone could refer me to some
annotated/output or other resources so
I could figure these things out.

Best,
