Factors Affecting the Risk of Death in Patients with Rectal Cancer: An Analysis in the Presence of Competitive Risks
Background and Objectives: The incidence of rectal cancer is increasing in developing societies, especially in younger age groups. The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors affecting the survival of patients with rectal cancer in the presence of competing risks. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, the data of 121 patients with rectal cancer during 2001-2017 were studied. De...
متن کاملComparison of Random Survival Forests for Competing Risks and Regression Models in Determining Mortality Risk Factors in Breast Cancer Patients in Mahdieh Center, Hamedan, Iran
Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide. Patients with cancer may die due to disease progression or other types of events. These different event types are called competing risks. This study aimed to determine the factors affecting the survival of patients with breast cancer using three different approaches: cause-specific hazards regression, subdistri...
متن کاملAdditive two-way hazards model with varying coefficients
Abstract The paper considers smooth modelling of hazard functions, where dynamics is modelled in both, duration time and calendar time. The model is specified with time dynamic covariate effects to replace restrictive assumptions of proportional hazards. Additivity of the time effects is assumed which allows for simple estimation in a backfitting style. Penalized splines are employed, which pro...
متن کاملA Competing Risks Model with Time-varying Heterogeneity and Simultaneous Failure
This paper proposes a new bivariate competing risks model that speci es each marginal duration as the rst time a Lévy subordinator crosses a random threshold. Our speci cation is a natural variant of the competing risks version of the mixed proportional hazards model, but it allows time-varying heterogeneity and simultaneous termination of both durations. When the structural multiplicative e¤e...
متن کاملIntroduction to Competing Risk Model In the Epidemiological Research
Background and aims: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health challenge worldwide, with adverse consequences of kidney failure, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and premature death. Chronic kidney disease leads to the end stage of renal disease (ESRD), if late/not diagnosed. Competing risk modeling is a major issue in Epidemiology research. In Epidemiology study, sometimes inappropriate met...
