I have a struct where one of the columns is the PatientID that appears like this 'P00000001' and I want to add more patients with a diferent PacientID but with the same structer ('P00000001' - a string with P and 8 numbers) how do I do?

s = struct();
s.(sprintf('P%08.0f',1)) = 'Baetriz';
s.(sprintf('P%08.0f',2)) = 'Adam';
s.(sprintf('P%08.0f',3)) = 'Matlab'
Or if you're refering to tables,
T = table();
T.(sprintf('P%08.0f',1)) = 'Baetriz';
T.(sprintf('P%08.0f',2)) = 'Adam';
T.(sprintf('P%08.0f',3)) = 'Matlab'

If you're using a table you probably want each patient to be a row of data, with the IDs as the RowNames.
t = table("Baetriz", 'VariableNames', "Name", 'RowNames', "P00000001")
t{sprintf("P%08d", 2), 'Name'} = "Steve"
n = t{'P00000001', 'Name'}
