Simulation of Populations in a Time-, Age- and Duration Dependent Illness-Death Model
نویسنده
چکیده
Relevant events in a three state illness-death model (IDM) of a chronic disease are the diagnosis of the disease and death with or without the disease. In this article a simulation framework for populations moving in the IDM is presented. The simulation is closely related to the concept of Lexis diagrams in event history analysis. Details of the implementation and an example of a hypothetical disease are described.

Lexis Diagram and Illness-Death Model: Simulating Populations in Chronic Disease Epidemiology
Chronic diseases impose a tremendous global health problem of the 21st century. Epidemiological and public health models help to gain insight into the distribution and burden of chronic diseases. Moreover, the models may help to plan appropriate interventions against risk factors. To provide accurate results, models often need to take into account three different time-scales: calendar time, age...
متن کاملExamining Effective Factors on Duration Time of Recommitment Using Cox's Proportional Hazard Model
Abstract. Recently, in most of scientific studies, the use of survival analysis is performed for examining duration time models. One of the important applications of survival analysis is the study of recommitment crime in criminology which has not yet been considered in Iran. So, with attention to the necessity and importance of predicting recommitment time and the analysis of duration model...
متن کاملInduced tissue cell death by magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia for cancer treatment: an in silico study
In this paper, we simulate magnetic hyperthermia process on a mathematical phantom model representing cancer tumor and its surrounding healthy tissues. The temperature distribution throughout the phantom model is obtained by solving the bio-heat equations and the consequent cell death amount is calculated using correlations between the tissue local temperature and the cell death rate. To have a...

Background: Alopecia areata (AA) is a common disease with an unknown etiology. It is a chronic disease with causes severe disfigurement. So it may significantly affect the patients’ quality of life (QOL). This study was designed to evaluate illness perception and QOL in patients with AA. Patients and Methods: A questionnaire consisting of 28 questions about causes, course and the impact o...
متن کاملProposing A stochastic model for spread of corona virus dynamics in Nigeria
The emergence of corona virus (COVID-19) has create a great public concern as the outbreak is still ongoing and government are taking actions such as holiday extension, travel restriction, temporary closure of public work place, borders, schools, quarantine/isolation, social distancing and so on. To mitigate the spread, we proposed and analyzed a stochastic model for the continue spread of coro...
