In epidemiology analysis of longitudinal data is commonly accepted as providing the most robust measures of association between putative risk and selected outcomes such as death or cancer. SMARTIE is a SAS application for efficient analysis of longitudinal data. Based on person days at risk, it can handle multiple exits from and re-entries to risk, and derives outcome measures such as survival rates. Standardised Mortality Ratios (SMRs) and Cancer Incidence Ratios (SIRs). Summary data can be produced in a format easily ported to any modelling package such as Stats 5.0. We discuss the background to its development, the overall program structure, its command language, and finally we say something about the organization of outputs. Findings from survival studies using the Longitudinal Study of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) are used to demonstrate features of SMARTIE. This study is based on one per cent of the population of England and Wales. It is continually updated with the addition of new members and with information from birth, death and cancer records, and from the census.

- Articles and reports: 12-001-X19970023618Description:
Statistical agencies often constitute their business panels by Poisson sampling, or by stratified sampling of fixed size and uniform probabilities in each stratum. This stampling corresponds to algorithms which use permanent numbers following a uniform distribution. Since the characteristics of the units change over time, it is necessary to periodically conduct resamplings while endeavouring to conserve the maximum number of units. The solution by Poisson sampling is the simplest and provides the maximum theoretical coverage, but with the disadvantage of a random sample size. On the other hand, in the case of stratified sampling of fixed size, the changes in strata cause difficulties precisely because of these fixed size constraints. An initial difficulty is that the finer the stratification, the more the coverage is decreased. Indeed, this is likely to occur if births constitute separate strata. We show how this effect can be corrected by rendering the numbers equidistant before resampling. The disadvantage, a fairly minor one, is that in each stratum the sampling is no longer a simple random sampling, which makes the estimation of the variance less rigorous. Another difficulty is reconciling the resampling with an eventual rotation of the units in the sample. We present a type of algorithm which extends after resampling the rotation before resampling. It is based on transformations of the random numbers used for the sampling, so as to return to resampling without rotation. These transformations are particularly simple when they involve equidistant numbers, but can also be carried out with the numbers following a uniform distribution.

Release date: 1997-10-07 - Articles and reports: 91F0015M1997003Geography: Canada, Province or territoryDescription:
For historical reasons, the best known life tables and those most often used are period tables. They are built using death rates by age for a short period of observation (often a single year) and have as their purpose to represent the status of mortality for this period. The survivors and deaths appearing in their columns are in a way abstractions rather than reality. It is thus erroneous to believe that the life table for a given year (for example, 1995) serves in any way whatever to predict the rate at which those born that year will pass away and, hence, of the average length of the life that they have just begun. With rare exceptions, the average number of years lived by individuals has always been longer than the life expectancy found in the life table constructed for the year of their birth. This is due to the fact that period tables are established using the risks of death by age prevailing in that year. But the ceaseless battle against death reduces these risks year after year for these ages and, by growing older, people benefit from these successive gains.
To reconstitute (or foresee) the rate at which the members of a cohort have (or will) really pass away, it is necessary to deploy very long series of death rates by age and to possess reliable indicators of missing data, and then to adjust them to establish the actual experience of the persons in a cohort. Built in exactly the same way as period tables, these tables are naturally called cohort tables, but comparing observations of their parameters yields conclusions of a different kind.

Release date: 2000-10-11 - 2. Creating and enhancing a population-based linked health database: methods, challenges, and applications ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 11-522-X19990015662Description:
As the availability of both health utilization and outcome information becomes increasingly important to health care researchers and policy makers, the ability to link person-specific health data becomes a critical objective. This type of linkage of population-based administrative health databases has been realized in British Columbia. The database was created by constructing an historical file of all persons registered with the health care system, and then by probabilistically linking various program files to this 'coordinating' file. The first phase of development included the linkage of hospital discharge data, physician billing data, continuing care data, data about drug costs for the elderly, births data and deaths data. The second phase of development has seen the addition data sources external to the Ministry of Health including cancer incidence data, workers' compensation data, and income assistance data.
