Hi statalisters,
I would really appreciate if someone could help me solve my problem below.
In my dataset i have many test results per patient. I am interested to summarize the total number of positive results per patient through the loop.
So far I have created a loop for all result variables called results which represent b_leg_res* and I can count the number of positives per variable but not per person. However, I don't know how to summarize the total number of pos per person through the loop and record it in the no_pos variable. Can anyone help me with this ?
gen no_pos=.
foreach results of varlist b_leg_res* {
count if `results' =="Pos"
}
Thank you,
