Comparative clinical outcomes after thymectomy for myasthenia gravis: Thoracoscopic versus trans-sternal approach

Asian Journal of Surgery, 2018
Background: Thymectomy is an effective treatment option for long-term remission of myasthenia gravis. The superiority of the trans-sternal and thoracoscopic surgical approaches is still being debated.

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 ...

Prognostic factors on outcomes of follicular thyroid cancer

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2019
Purposes: We investigated the influences of prognostic factors on long-term survival of patients with follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) based on all-cause mortality and two exclusive causes of death, FTC and non-FTC.

Analysis of generalized semiparametric regression models for cumulative incidence functions with missing covariates [PDF]

Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, 2018
The cumulative incidence function quantifies the probability of failure over time due to a specific cause for competing risks data. The generalized semiparametric regression models for the cumulative incidence functions with missing covariates are investigated.

Evaluating antimalarial efficacy in single-armed and comparative drug trials using competing risk survival analysis: a simulation study

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2019
Background Antimalarial efficacy studies in patients with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum are confounded by a new infection (a competing risk event) since this event can potentially preclude a recrudescent event (primary endpoint of interest).

Incidence of Long‐Term Structural Valve Dysfunction and Bioprosthetic Valve Failure After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background Long‐term data on durability of currently available transcatheter heart valves are sparse. We sought to assess the incidence of long‐term (8‐year) structural valve dysfunction and bioprosthetic valve failure in a cohort of patients with ...
