Bounds in Competing Risks Models and the War on Cancer
In 1971 President Nixon declared war on cancer. Thirty years later, many have declared the war a failure: the age-adjusted mortality rate from cancer in 2000 was essentially the same as in the early 1970s. Meanwhile the age-adjusted mortality rate from cardiovascular disease fell dramatically. Since the causes underlying cancer and cardiovascular disease are likely to be correlated, the decline...
متن کاملCompeting risks and multistate models.
Complex clinical endpoints are present in studies in cancer. Especially in studies on hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT), various risks exist after HSCT. Patients can experience acute and chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) or need to undergo immunosuppressive therapy (IST), a relapse can occur, or patients can die after relapse or without former relapse (nonrelapse mortality, ...
متن کاملConstrained Mixture Models in Competing Risks Problems
We consider the problem of modelling the failure-time distribution, where failure is due to two distinct causes. One approach is to adopt a two-component mixture model where the components correspond to the two dierent causes of failure. However, routine application of this approach with typical parametric forms for the component densities proves to be inadequate in modelling the time to a re-...
متن کاملParametric Competing Risks Models in Clinical Trials
Some fully general parametric competing risks models, which allow the underlying (possibly dependent) lifetimes to be modeled as a function of an arbitrary number of covariables, are formulated, and their resulting likelihood function is derived. Under carefully stated regularity conditions, large sample tests of hypotheses concerning the model parameters are obtained for the single point trunc...
متن کاملCompeting risks models and time-dependent covariates
New statistical models for analysing survival data in an intensive care unit context have recently been developed. Two models that offer significant advantages over standard survival analyses are competing risks models and multistate models. Wolkewitz and colleagues used a competing risks model to examine survival times for nosocomial pneumonia and mortality. Their model was able to incorporate...
