I have started by myselt but need feedback.

by the commands

lincom  _Ilapscopii_1+ _IlapXtim_1_2	,	hr
lincom  _Ilapscopii_1+ _IlapXtim_1_3	,	hr

I understand that this will give the estimates for the risk of
laparoscopy for timeperiod 2 and 3. The estimate for timeperiod 1 is
the baseline estimate from the model. The riskdifference is
significantly higher in the third timeperiod. Is this correct? How can
I make a test for the trend over time?
