Does this help?

I'm interested in working with (read: using as scalars) the
confidence intervals created by a Poisson regression.
If I were doing a linear regression, I'd just do what they say here
http://www.maartenbuis.nl/publications/p-value.pdf, which is:
reg outcome treatment, robust
local l95=_b[treatment] -
invttail(e(df_r),0.025)*_se[treatment]
local u95=_b[treatment] + invttail(e(df_r),0.025)*_se[treatment]
But a Poisson regression like the following:
poisson outcome treatment, robust
doesn't have the residual degrees of freedom (e(df_r)), and even if it did, I
don't think that's how Stata is creating the confidence intervals.
There must be some other simple (complicated?) formula I can use to recreate
CI's, given the stored values after a Poisson regression. Any
suggestions?
