tailieunhanh - QUALITY CONTROL OF HERBAL MEDICINES AND RELATED AREAS

In most cohort studies it is necessary to calculate the actual time-at-risk for each individual as person-time. The person-time is used to either calculate mortality or incidence rates of the cohort or to perform indirect standardization or multivariate analysis. Person-time was calculated in person-years (PY) by a SAS® macro. The macro uses the three time variables of age, length of stay in Germany and calendar-year. The macro calculates and distributes the person-years exactly to the day. Age and length of stay are categorized in one year intervals. Afterwards age is categorized into five year age groups up to 85 and older | QUALITY CONTROL OF HERBAL MEDICINES AND RELATED AREAS Edited by Yukihiro Shoyama Quality Control of Herbal Medicines and Related Areas Edited by Yukihiro Shoyama Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2011 InTech All chapters are Open Access articles distributed under the Creative Commons Non Commercial Share Alike Attribution license which permits to copy distribute transmit and adapt the work in any medium so long as the original work is properly cited.
