Dear All
I am trying to replicate how Capon 2005 created dummy variables for 60 hospitals for logistic regression.
"A second model was fitted including all the variables selected by the stepwise model and 60 dummy variables identifying single hospitals. The dummy variables were coded in order to take the overall rate as a reference. Adjusted ORs were computed for every hospital. All analyses were carried out using STATA software version 8.0."
I will be glad if someone can explain how create dummy variables that will include all the 60 hospitals, so that I can calculate the adjusted prevalence ratio for all.
Thanks
