Hello
I am trying to conduct a cohort study to compare image quality between two hospitals. Both hospitals are using the same imaging device . I have 500 patients from hospital A and another 500 from hospital B. Beside the location of the imaging ( Hospital A Vs Hospital B) , there are other confounders that may affect image quality like body weight , age, ..etc. I want to match patients from hospital A with those from hospital B in regards to these confounders. Then, I will compare outcomes in the matched cohort. How can I run matching in Stata? . There are many resources about matching in case-control studies, however, I could not find the commands for matching in cohort studies. Thank you in advance for your help.
