Hi.
I am working with hierarchical data.
There are several hospital visit by patients. My outcome of interest is stroke. Patient is diagnosed with stroke in one or other of hospital visit. I would like to exclude visits prior to diagnosis of first stroke (index hospitalization) but would keep informations on hospital visit after index hospitalization. Example of dataset is below:

Pt.ID    visit    stroke    ADMSN_DT

There are close to 800,000 hospitalizations to work with. Please suggest macro or stata program to drop observation (hospital visits) prior to index hospitalization but not after. Thanks
Dilip
