Thanks - I guess I should be more clear on what exactly I'm working
with. We have patients who will accumulate a higher risk of developing the disease based on how much time we've been observing them. So for example, someone who's been in the clinic for 1 year will have less of a chance of developing the disease than someone who's been in the clinic for 2 years. The way I've worked this out is like this: 1. Create a counter to count the number of days elapsed between the start and end date of your observation period 2. Input a daily enrollment rate 3. Input a daily probability of developing a disease So then we calculate how many people will get the disease in the observation period like this: On the first day of observation, number of cases = 1 (number of days enrolled) * daily probability of disease * number people enrolled But on the second day of observation, number of cases = 2 * daily probability of disease * number of people enrolled so that the probability becomes cululative. I've done this using a VB do loop, and I basically want to run this calculation for each disease without having to make a formula for each, replacing the daily probability of disease for each disease. Thanks in advance for any help! |
