Multivariate Frailty Modeling in Joint Analyzing of Recurrent Events with Terminal Event and its Application in Medical Data

Background and Objectives: In many medical situations, people can experience recurrent events with a terminal event. If the terminal event is considered a censor in this type of data, the assumption of independence in the analysis of survival data may be violated. This study was conducted to investigate joint modeling of frequent events and a final event (death) in breast cancer patients using ...

Cox and Frailty Models for Analysis of Esophageal Cancer Data‎

‎By existing censor and skewness in survival data‎, ‎some models such as weibull are used to analyzing survival data‎. ‎In addition, parametric and semiparametric models can be obtained from baseline hazard function of Cox model to fit to survival data‎. ‎However these models are popular because of their simple usage but do not consider unknown risk factors‎, ‎that's why cannot introduce the be...

Simultaneous modeling of multiple recurrences in breast cancer patients

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common recurrence cancers among women. There are several factors that can affect multiple recurrence of this disease. On the other hand, simultaneous examination of the types of relapses will make the results more accurate. The purpose of this study was to use a joint frailty model to model multiple recurrences of breast cancer patients. Materials ...

Multidimensional Approach to Frailty among Rural Older People: Applying the Tilburg Frailty Indicator

Introduction: Frailty is a common geriatric syndrome. Studies of frailty and old age have been able to help reduce its underlying causes and complication. Understanding the frailty and its associated factors in developing countries such as Iran, can help gather information on conditions of the elderly and better plan for this age population. Therefore, the present study was implemented to inves...
