Estimating causal effects in the presence of competing events using regression standardisation with the Stata command standsurv
利用 Stata standsurv 回归标准化估计竞争事件下的因果效应
When interested in a time-to-event outcome, competing events that prevent the occurrence of the event of interest may be present. In the presence of competing events, various statistical estimands have been suggested for defining the causal effect of treatment on the event of interest. Depending on the estimand, the competing events are either accommodated or eliminated, resulting in causal effects with different interpretation. The former approach captures the total effect…
