Such events are termed competing risk events. Survival data are often summarised using the cumulative incidence function for an event. The goal of this paper is to illustrate to the clinical ...

If the interest is to estimate the probability of relapse, death from TRM is a competing risk event and the cumulative incidence function (CIF) must be calculated by appropriate accounting.

The competing risks of death and ESRD may confound the estimates of risk for each outcome. Now, the researchers have determined the major predictors of the cumulative incidence of ESRD and pre ...

The cumulative incidence of second cancers was estimated with death treated as a competing risk, and trends over time were evaluated in competing-risk models, with adjustment for the effects of ...

Given the natural history of localized kidney cancers, the long-term benefit of treatment, particularly in older adults, depends in large part on competing risks of ... We used the cumulative ...

Cumulative incidence function curves stratified by age at the time ... were very similar to those reported here. In this competing-risks analysis, First Nations adults experienced a higher risk of ...

Our investigation yielded novel and previously unreported observations on outcomes in patients who undergo resection of stage I NSCLC: Noncancer-specific mortality is a prominent competing ...

with the use of the nonparametric cumulative incidence function of Fine and Gray, 24 in which death from nonsudden causes was treated as a competing risk (i.e., dependent censoring). The hazard ...

However, risk was substantially greater among patients aged 49 years and younger diagnosed with AK (hazard ratio, 6.77). The cumulative incidence of cSCC reached 17.1 percent at 10 years among ...

WASHINGTON -- The FDA has issued a warning of an increased risk of high-grade prostate ... a statistically significant reduction in the cumulative incidence of prostate cancer after four years ...
