Estimating cumulative incidence functions in competing risks data with dependent left‐truncation [PDF]
Statistics in Medicine, 2019 Both delayed study entry (left‐truncation) and competing risks are common phenomena in observational time‐to‐event studies. For example, in studies conducted by Teratology Information Services (TIS) on adverse drug reactions during pregnancy, the natural time scale is gestational age, but women enter the study after time origin and upon contact with ...
