Validation of death prediction after breast cancer relapses using joint models

چکیده
BACKGROUND Cancer relapses may be useful to predict the risk of death. To take into account relapse information, the Landmark approach is popular. As an alternative, we propose the joint frailty model for a recurrent event and a terminal event to derive dynamic predictions of the risk of death. METHODS The proposed prediction settings can account for relapse history or not. In this work, predictions developed on a French hospital series of patients with breast cancer are externally validated on UK and Netherlands registry data. The performances in terms of prediction error and calibration are compared to those from a Landmark Cox model. RESULTS The error of prediction was reduced when relapse information was taken into account. The prediction was well-calibrated, although it was developed and validated on very different populations. Joint modelling and Landmark approaches had similar performances. CONCLUSIONS When predicting the risk of death, accounting for relapses led to better prediction performance. Joint modelling appeared to be suitable for such prediction. Performance was similar to the landmark Cox model, while directly quantifying the correlation between relapses and death.

Background and Objective: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide. This study was conducted to analyze the factors related to survival of patients with breast cancer using two models of Cox proportional specific-cause and sub-distribution models (direct modeling of cumulative incidence). These patients were at the competitive risk of death from breast cancer and also ...
