Jeph's solution doesn't work for me. I believe it is because the line:
 bys ptid (visit): replace poststroke=(poststroke[_n-1]==1)
doesn't evaluate fully.

I assume Dilip would like to keep observations where the patient first
visits the hospital to be treated for stroke. Then here is a solution:
clear
input ptid    visit    stroke    str15 admsn

To every ω-consistent recursive class κ of formulae there correspond
recursive class signs r, such that neither v Gen r nor Neg(v Gen r)
belongs to Flg(κ) (where v is the free variable of r).
