Missing covariates in competing risks analysis
Studies often follow individuals until they fail from one of a number of competing failure types. One approach to analyzing such competing risks data involves modeling the cause-specific hazards as functions of baseline covariates. A common issue that arises in this context is missing values in covariates. In this setting, we first establish conditions under which complete case analysis (CCA) i...
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...
متن کاملCompeting Risks Data Analysis with High-dimensional Covariates: An Application in Bladder Cancer
Analysis of microarray data is associated with the methodological problems of high dimension and small sample size. Various methods have been used for variable selection in high-dimension and small sample size cases with a single survival endpoint. However, little effort has been directed toward addressing competing risks where there is more than one failure risks. This study compared three typ...
متن کاملSemi-Competing Risks Data Analysis
Hospital readmission is a key marker of quality of healthcare; it has been used to investigate variation in quality among patients in a broad range of clinical contexts and has become an important policy measure. Notwithstanding its widespread use, however, readmission remains controversial as a measure of quality. Among the concerns raised, whether and how patient deaths are handled in the ana...
متن کاملParametric Estimation in a Recurrent Competing Risks Model
A resource-efficient approach to making inferences about the distributional properties of the failure times in a competing risks setting is presented. Efficiency is gained by observing recurrences of the compet- ing risks over a random monitoring period. The resulting model is called the recurrent competing risks model (RCRM) and is coupled with two repair strategies whenever the system fails. ...
