One way would be to store the last meaningful
time index for each patient. SO you might have this:
dimensions:
   numberofpatients=2000;
variables:
  int lastentry(numberofpatients);

Assuming you keep this uptodate, you
would then know for each patient how many
entries existed. If (as you indicated in a previous
message) there are gaps in the data (normal vs treatment)
then you will have to skip over fill values.
