Which of your variables represents the number of days since transfusion?
none of them. I am having problems creating that variable.
dov is date of visit. the variable etime was created using the following code:

bysort id (dov): gen etime = cond(_n == 1, 0, dov - dov[_n-1])

and thus is the number of days since last visit.
