Hopefully I\u2019m posting in the correct subreddit.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m using a national inpatient hospital database (NIS database) to analyze at how a specific procedure volume changed pre vs. post COVID. I\u2019ve already combined the years I\u2019m looking at (2018-2021), filtered the data for only the procedure code I\u2019m interested in, introduced a time period variable (2018\/2019 =1, 2020\/2020 =2) and weighed my cases by the \u201cdischarge weight\u201d variable to represent population estimates. At this point, each row is basically a count for the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019m stuck and don\u2019t know what kind of statistical analysis I should be doing and what variables to use. I\u2019ve played around with using independent t test using time period x discharge weights, thinking that each row x discharge weight = estimate of procedures, but I\u2019m not really sure if that\u2019s right. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d appreciate it if someone could please help me with this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/igneouscloud\"> \/u\/igneouscloud <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1h3lb8n\/help_regarding_nis_database_research_analysis\/\">[link]<\/a><\/span>   <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1h3lb8n\/help_regarding_nis_database_research_analysis\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><\/p><div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-right'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-31754 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='31754' data-nonce='614a020375' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-31754 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-31754 status align-right'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m fairly inexperienced with programming\/data analysis and I\u2019m unsure of how to proceed with my dataset.
