Population‐based study evaluating and predicting the probability of death resulting from thyroid cancer among patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma

open access: yesCancer Medicine, 2019
Background Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is an indolent carcinoma. The cumulative incidence of death from patients with PTMC and the nomogram built based on the competing risks model have not been described. Methods Patients diagnosed with PTMC

Age-specific incidence of A/H1N1 2009 influenza infection in England from sequential antibody prevalence data using likelihood-based estimation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Estimating the age-specific incidence of an emerging pathogen is essential for understanding its severity and transmission dynamics. This paper describes a statistical method that uses likelihoods to estimate incidence from sequential serological data ...

Cumulative incidence function estimation using population-based biobank data

open access: yesBiometrics
ABSTRACT Many countries have established population-based biobanks, which are being used increasingly in epidemiological and clinical research. These biobanks offer opportunities for large-scale studies addressing questions beyond the scope of traditional clinical trials or cohort studies. However, using biobank data poses new challenges.

Crude incidence in two-phase designs in the presence of competing risks

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2016
Background In many studies, some information might not be available for the whole cohort, some covariates, or even the outcome, might be ascertained in selected subsamples. These studies are part of a broad category termed two-phase studies.

Methods of competing risks analysis of time to occurrence of reflux among children with antenatal hydronephrosis

open access: yesJournal of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, 2016
Background & Aim: We aimed to describe a standard survival analysis, so that we can analyze some factors related to the time of occurrence of different types of reflux (unilateral-left, unilateralright, and bilateral) in children with antenatal ...

Restricted estimation of the cumulative incidence functions corresponding to competing risks

open access: yes, 2006
In the competing risks problem, an important role is played by the cumulative incidence function (CIF), whose value at time $t$ is the probability of failure by time $t$ from a particular type of failure in the presence of other risks. In some cases there are reasons to believe that the CIFs due to various types of failure are linearly ordered.

Analyzing Competing Risk Data Using the R timereg Package

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2011
In this paper we describe flexible competing risks regression models using the comp.risk() function available in the timereg package for R based on Scheike et al. (2008).
