  • Predicting time to event after st cox on multiple imputed data?

    Hi!

    I have a dataset with approx. 30 000 patients. My outcome is metastasized colon cancer (mcc) and I have time to event from diagnosis of cancer to diagnosis of metastasized cancer (mcc_time). I have performed a Kaplan-Meier plot on non-imputed data, using sts list and stci to estimate median survival and estimated 5-year survival.

    I have thereafter performed a multiple imputation and fitted a Cox regression on the MI-data. After that, I would like to predict the estimate median survival and estimated 5-year survival using the prediction from the Cox regression. I figure I would do that using the post estimation commands. However, they do not work when I use the imputed data.

    Just to figure out the code, I tried doing it on the non-imputed data, but when doing that, I get this graph.
    Something is obviously wrong, but I can't really figure out what. Any ideas? When I do the Kaplan Meier on the same data I get ordinary looking failure plots.

    Code:
    ** Imputed data **
    mi stset mcc_time, f(mcc) id(id_code) scale(365.25)
    mi estimate: stcox gender##age_categories c.(var1-var9) i.(var10-var20)
    stcurve, failure // does not work, not with the "mi estimate: stcurve, failure" either
    
    ** Non imputed data*
    
    stset mcc_time, f(mcc) id(id_code) scale(365.25)
    stcox gender##age_categories c.(var1-var9) i.(var10-var20)
    stcurve, failure
