A possible workaround to this problem is sketched in Section 5 of Newson (2010). The solution is not perfect, but it is the best I have managed so far.

Best wishes

Roger

This question was posted before in 2010 by someone else but remains unanswered.

Is there a way to obtain Harrell's C after -stcox- in a dataset that has late entry, i.e. left truncation?

I would like to compare C-statistics from various nested Cox models but when I type
-estat concordance- in Stata 12, I get the following message

"estat concordance may not be used with late entry or time-varying data"

The data has to remain -stset- as is, with late entry. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
