Adjusting for Time-Varying Confounding in Survival Analysis
Adjusting for Time-Varying Confounding in Survival Analysis In this paper we illustrate how directly including endogenous time-varying confounders in the model of the effect of an exposure on a response can lead to bias in discrete time survival analysis. An alternative to this method is Hernán, Brumback and Robins’ (1999) use of sample weights to adjust for endogenous time-varying confounding....
متن کاملEvaluation of Survival Analysis Models for Predicting Factors Infuencing the Time of Brucellosis Diagnosis
Background:Brucellosis or Malta fever is one of the most common zoonotic diseases in the world. In addition to causing human suffering and dire economic impact on animals, due to the high prevalence of Brucellosis in the western regions of Isfahan province, this study aimed to analyze effective factors in the time of Brucellosis diagnosis using parametric and semi-parametric mo...
متن کاملAdjusting survival curves for confounders: a review and a new method.
When reporting results from survival analysis, investigators often present crude Kaplan-Meier survival curves and adjusted relative hazards from the Cox proportional hazards model. Occasionally, the investigators will also provide a graphical representation of adjusted survival curves based on regression estimates and the average covariate values in the study groups. In this paper, the authors ...
متن کاملRe: "Adjusting survival curves for confounders: a review and a new method".
Nieto and Coresh (1) are reviewing alternative methods for presenting adjusted survival curves. The proposed new method is a special case of the Ederer II method currently used at cancer registries worldwide. In addition, there are other frequently used methods for adjusting for deaths and censorings that are not mentioned. It is important to state the context in which any adjusted survival cur...
متن کاملStructural accelerated failure time models for survival analysis in studies with time-varying treatments.
BACKGROUND In the absence of unmeasured confounding factors and model misspecification, standard methods for estimating the causal effect of time-varying treatments on survival are biased when (i) there exists a time-dependent risk factor for survival that also predicts subsequent treatment and (ii) past treatment history predicts subsequent risk factor level. In contrast, structural models pro...
