Competing risk models to estimate the excess mortality and the first recurrent-event hazards
BACKGROUND In medical research, one common competing risks situation is the study of different types of events, such as disease recurrence and death. We focused on that situation but considered death under two aspects: "expected death" and "excess death", the latter could be directly or indirectly associated with the disease. METHODS The excess hazard method allows estimating an excess mortal...
متن کاملNew ways of estimating excess mortality of chronic diseases: Insights from the illness-death model
Recently, we have shown that the age-specific prevalence of a disease can be related to the transition rates in the illness-death model via a partial differential equation (PDE). In case of a chronic disease, we show that the PDE can be used to estimate excess mortality from prevalence and incidence. Applicability of the new method is demonstrated in a simulation and claims data about diabetes ...
متن کاملMortality of atrial fibrillation in a population selected to be free of major cardiovascular impairments.
The magnitude of additional mortality produced by the development of atrial fibrillation not associated with major cardiovascular risk factors is demonstrated. In a community-based population followed for 10 years, men aged 55-74 years had a mortality ratio of 260% and an excess death rate of 57. Women in the same age group had a mortality ratio of 335% and an excess death rate of 59. Were one ...
متن کاملA new method for estimating smoking-attributable mortality in high-income countries.
BACKGROUND Cigarette smoking is responsible for a massive loss of life in both developed and developing countries. This article develops an alternative to the Peto-Lopez method for estimating the number or fraction of smoking-attributable deaths in high-income countries. METHODS We use lung cancer death rates as an indicator of the damage caused by smoking. Using administrative data for the p...
