CPRDCRIBS: Stata module providing template do-files for inputting CPRD datasets into Stata

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: The cprdcribs package is a set of template (or crib) do-files for inputting text datasets produced by the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), and outputting a core set of Stata datasets for a CPRD database, together with a do-file to create the full set of Stata value labels for the database. The core datasets are the non-XYZ-lookup datsets for a CPRD database, together with a dataset with 1 observation per practice and a dataset with 1 observation per patient. The user may modify the template do-files for the user's own requirements, and/or produce additional do-files to input other kinds of CPRD text datasets into Stata. The template do-files may be modified by the user. They include a do-file to produce the lookups, a do-file to produce the practice dataset, a do-file to produce the patient dataset, and a master do-file that calls the other do-files in a sensible order, using the SSC package dolog. The do-files of the cprdcribs package use the SSC package cprdutil. It is probably a good idea to install all of Roger Newson's Stata packages before using these do-files. This installation can be done using one of the instasisay packages, downloadable from Roger Newson's website.
