Hi Sinead,

I have used this macro to calculated cumulative incidence rates in the presence of competing risks several times.

Good luck!

Thanks Irene. Do you have any notes or explanation of this macro for a non statistician?

Sure, here is another link with more documentation and an example. Hope this helps!

Book on Competing Risk - A Practical Perspective by Pintilie will be a great source.

SAS macros for competing risk analysis is also given as an additional in this book.

Thank you Devika
