A note on including time-dependent covariate in regression model for competing risks data.

چکیده
Recently, regression analysis of the cumulative incidence function has gained interest in competing risks data analysis, through the model proposed by Fine and Gray (JASA 1999; 94: 496-509). In this note, we point out that inclusion of time-dependent covariates in this model can lead to serious bias. We illustrate the problems arising in such a context, using bone marrow transplant data as a working example and numerical simulations. Practical advices are given, preventing the misuse of this model.

Regression modelling in hospital epidemiology: a statistical note
Barnett and Graves [1], in their commentary on our report recently published in Critical Care [2], suggested that time-discrete methods should be used to address time-dependent risk factors and competing risks. In this letter we comment on two statements by those authors. First, Barnett and Graves claim that, 'An alternative method to the competing risks model is a multistate model.' In fact, a...

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...

Copula models are often used to model the dependence structure in bivariate failure-time data. We consider a covariate effect regression method on the copula parameter for Archimedean copulas. The proposed method can handle three different data structures, namely typical bivariate data, semi-competing risks data and dependent truncation data. We derive large-sample properties of the proposed es...
