Competing-risk analysis of ESRD and death among patients with type 1 diabetes and macroalbuminuria.
Patients with both type 1 diabetes and CKD have an increased risk of adverse outcomes. The competing risks of death and ESRD may confound the estimates of risk for each outcome. Here, we sought to determine the major predictors of the cumulative incidence of ESRD and pre-ESRD mortality in patients with type 1 diabetes and macroalbuminuria while incorporating the competing risk for the alternate...
متن کاملCompeting Risk Analyses of Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease
INTRODUCTION Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important health problem that gradually leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In ESRD patients, death due to other diseases or some events, such as renal transplantation (known as competing risks), would change the probability of observing the event of interest. The aim of this study was to estimate the survival of ESRD patients using competing...
متن کاملRestricted Alternatives Tests in Competing Risk Analyses
CICILIA YUKO WADA. Restricted Alternatives Tests in Competing Risk Analyses. (Under the direction of Dr. P.K. SEN) The objective of the present study is to derive a union-intersection test statistic for subhypotheses against restricted alternatives in a competing risk situation with k causes of failure and p concomitant variables. Asymptotic properties of the proposed tests are investigated and...
متن کاملVascular calcification and ESRD: a hard target.
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with both accelerated cardiovascular disease and alterations in vitamin D and mineral metabolism. Calcification of both coronary and extra-cardiac vessels is common in ESRD. Several studies suggest that vascular calcification is associated with coronary atherosclerosis, vascular wall stiffness, left ventricular hypertrophy, and subsequent increased m...
متن کاملAre segments of the developing world competing in end-stage renal disease (ESRD)?
Sir, Trinidad and Tobago are the southernmost islands in the Caribbean archipelago with a population of 1.3 million, consisting of two major diaspora Africans and Southeast Asians. An economy buoyant by petroleum exports is responsible for a GDP per capita of 10 894.4 ($US). The number of patients (n = 436) with ESRD receiving dialysis is the highest in comparison with Jamaica (n = 366), Bahama...
