Dear Statalisters,
I beg Your pardon for the possible trivialism of what follows. I am intended
to compare two different health care programmes (A and B) which perform the
same in terms of overall average per patient survival (13 years each) but
give different results in terms of years patients (50,000 patients enrolled
in programme A and 50,000 in programme B) spend throughout different stages
(I^ II^ III^ and IV^) of the disease. Particularly, I would kindly ask You
about some hints to check for any statistical significance within each
stage. I tried tabi, chi2 exact with Stata 9, but I am not sure this the
right way to tackle this issue.
Thanks a lot for Your Kindness and for Your time.
Kind Regards,
Carlo
