Fast and flexible inference for joint models of multivariate longitudinal and survival data using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations [PDF]
Modeling longitudinal and survival data jointly offers many advantages such as addressing measurement error and missing data in the longitudinal processes, understanding and quantifying the association between the longitudinal markers and the survival events and predicting the risk of events based on the longitudinal markers.

Individual dynamic prediction of clinical endpoint from large dimensional longitudinal biomarker history: a landmark approach [PDF]
The individual data collected throughout patient follow-up constitute crucial information for assessing the risk of a clinical event, and eventually for adapting a therapeutic strategy. Joint models and landmark models have been proposed to compute individual dynamic predictions from repeated measures to one or two markers.
