INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES

ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

1) Create descriptive statistics for the above variables, and run any other code you would normally use to evaluate quality of newly imported data. Describe any concerns you may have about the suitability of this dataset for further analysis.

2) Subset the data to include only those patients age 65 or older (>=). Save this new working file and use it for the rest of the exercise.

3) Create a dummy variable indicating whether each admission involves a readmission, defined as a subsequent hospitalization for the same patientId within 30 days of the index admission.

4) Create a dummy variable indicating whether each admission involved coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery:

● Inclusion criteria are any procedure code in the following group: 3610, 3611, 3612, 3613, 3614, 3615, 3616.

● Exclusion criteria are any procedure code where the first three characters are 350 or 351.

5) Install the community-contributed Stata module “elixhauser” (ssc install elixhauser). Run the module, using the ICD-9 enhanced option, creating binary variables to flag each Elixhauser comorbidity and a count of comorbidities.

6) Merge the hospital_Stata.csv file to your data. Create a bar graph of average age by bed count for CABG and non-CABG patients and briefly describe your observations in a few sentences.

7) Specify and run a regression model that estimates how likely a patient is to be readmitted among patients undergoing CABG surgery, controlling for systolic blood pressure and the number of Elixhauser comorbidities in the admission record. Update the dataset with a predicted probability of readmission for each patient undergoing CABG surgery.

8) Interpret the model output and explain your model choice over the alternatives. Discuss the assumptions that must hold in order to obtain unbiased estimates from your choice of model.
