  • Propensity scores more than one treatment

    Hi I have a column with procedure type. Which could be:
    procedure type - 0 (stent)
    procedure type - 1 (cardiac bypass surgery)
    procedure type - 2 (venous dilation)

    Now I am only interested in the main treatment (stent) compared to the control (cardiac bypass surgery). So i created a column that has values 0 - 2

    To create propensity scores, the question is to evaluate if STENT procedure have a HIGHER RISK of death.
    It will be using the information from procedure column.

    For psmatch2 to work, this needs to be binary
    0 (stent) or 1 (cardiac bypass surgery)

    How do I address those patients who have had procedure 2 - I can not give them the value of 0 or 1.... as this would be the wrong treatment and thus wrong results
