SCCSDTA: Stata module to generate a dataset for the self-controlled case series method (SCCS)

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: The SCCS method examines the association between a time-varying exposure and an event outcome. The study samples only cases, and it requires that an event has occurred during the observation period. The method doesn't compare incidences for cases with incidences for references. Instead, it contrasts incidences in periods of risk with incidences in periods where the case is not at risk. In this approach, cases serve as their control for fixed confounders. It's feasible to adjust for time effects such as age. The intervals are marked by risk, time, and individual. For each interval, the number of incidences and the width of the interval are determined.
