Dear Adam,

Thank you for the program.
Unfortunately, I only have Stata v.11.2, so I had to change the command a bit, and it now reads:

program define ciflist
version 11.2
syntax anything [if]
capture drop _cif*
stcompet _cif_ = ci  _cifhi = hi _ciflo = lo  `if', compet1(2)
noi table `2' if _t<`1' & _cif_<., c(max _t max _cif_ max _ciflo max
_cifhi) format(%04.3f)
end


When I run the -ciflist 5 outcom- the following happens:

 ciflist 5 outcome
) required
r(100);

 I've tried to include a -)-  that doesn't help. Maybe the Stata version is the problem?

Sincerely,

Rikke

Hi,
You can also use this short program to list the basic CIF and 95% CI:

program define ciflist
version 12.1
syntax anything [if]
capture drop _cif*
stcompet _cif_ = ci  _cifhi = hi _ciflo = lo  `if', compet1(2)
noi table `2' if _t<`1' & _cif_<., c(max _t max _cif_ max _ciflo max
_cifhi) format(%04.3f)
end


Then you can type e.g.
-ciflist 5 cevent-
where "cevent" is your fail-event variable and 5 is the time you want
the point estimate for. This assumes that value 1 is your event of
interest and value 2 is a competing event.
The downside is that you have to wait for a new stcompet run each
time, but of course you could modify it to run just once.

However, we plan to use the cumulative incidence curves, and all I wanted was a relatively precise way of estimating the cumulative incidence from the curves generated after stcompet. And I believe, Enzo, that your solution does just that.
