Competing risks and cancer-specific mortality: why it matters
In studies with multiple endpoints, such as cancerspecific mortality and noncancer-specific mortality, conventional statistical approaches evaluate these endpoints using a separate Kaplan-Meier analysis without considering whether these endpoints are competing events for each other. In our recent study, we examined the influence of increasing age on lung cancer-specific and noncancerspecific mo...

insurers have in the past few decades faced longevity risks - the risk that annuitants survive more than expected - and therefore need a new approach to manage this new risk. in this dissertation we survey methods that hedge longevity risks. these methods use securitization to manage risk, so using modern financial and insurance pricing models, especially wang transform and actuarial concepts, ...
15 صفحه اولRecognizing and preventing epilepsy-related mortality
Epilepsy is associated with a high rate of premature mortality from direct and indirect effects of seizures, epilepsy, and antiseizure therapies. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the second leading neurologic cause of total lost potential life-years after stroke, yet SUDEP may account for less than half of all epilepsy-related deaths. Some epilepsy groups are especially vulnerable...
متن کاملCompeting risks.
Consider a unit which can experience any one of k competing failure types, and suppose that for each unit we observe the time to failure, T , and the type of failure, C ∈ {1, 2, . . . , k}. The case of observing the pair (T, C) is termed “competing risks” in the statistical literature. After considering some examples we review basic notation and theory of competing risks. In particular we consi...
متن کاملA theory of health investment under competing mortality risks.
In this paper, we present a theory of health investment when there are multiple causes of death. We analyze the optimal investment rules and the comparative statics. In particular, we examine the conditions under which a cause-specific intervention has a spillover effect. By spillover effect, we mean a price reduction in one cause-specific health investment would increase all other investments....
