Question

A clinical trial for a new fertility treatment was provided to 1000 women for a 5 year study period. Investigators were interested in noting when women became pregnant for the first time (subsequent pregnancies were not an outcome of interest, only first pregnancies). Every year, they came in for a follow-up visit and were asked if they were pregnant (outcome). Project coordinators also took note at these visits if any of the women had been loss-to-follow-up. Of the 1000 women at the beginning of the study, 203 became pregnant by the first visit. During visits 2 and 3, an additional 112 women became pregnant by each visit. Another 65 women became pregnant by the 4th visit, and a final 27 women became pregnant by the last visit. There were also 8 women lost to follow-up at visit 1, 6 women LTFU in visit 2, 12 women LTFU in visit 3, and 17 women LTFU in visit 4. How many person-years are there in this study data?
