区间删失生存数据下协变量选择的正则化多状态模型AI 解读

In population-based cohorts, disease diagnoses are typically censored by intervals as made during scheduled follow-up visits. The exact disease onset time is thus unknown, and in the presence of semi-competing risk of death, subjects may also die in between two visits before any diagnosis can be made. Illness-death models can be used to handle uncertainty about illness timing and the possible absence of diagnosis due to death. However, they are so far limited in the number…

半竞争风险下中介分析的多状态方法及癌症生存差异应用AI 解读

We propose a novel methodology to quantify the effect of stochastic interventions on non-terminal time-to-events that lie on the pathway between an exposure and a terminal time-to-event outcome. Investigating these effects is particularly important in health disparities research when we seek to quantify inequities in timely delivery of treatment and its impact on patients survival time. Current approaches fail to account for semi-competing risks arising in this setting.…
