A note on the estimation of confidence intervals for cost-effectiveness when costs and effects are censored [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
<i>Background</i>. The relation between methodological advances in estimation of confidence intervals (CIs) for incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) and estimation of cost effectiveness in the presence of censoring has not been ...

Reduction in Renal Relapse and Preservation of Long‐Term Kidney Function After Lupus Low Disease Activity in Patients With Lupus Nephritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) is a validated treatment target in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but limited studies have explored the role of LLDAS in lupus nephritis (LN). This study aims to investigate the frequency and predictors of LLDAS attainment and its benefit on LN relapse and renal function preservation in patients ...

Bayesian statistical inference of loglogistic model with interval-censored lifetime data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The properties of Palm Oil (PO) and Coconut Oil (CO) offer the potential for transformers Interval-censored data arise when a failure time say, T cannot be observed directly but can only be determined to lie in an interval obtained from a series of ...

Contact intervals, survival analysis of epidemic data, and estimation of R_0

open access: yes, 2010
We argue that the time from the onset of infectiousness to infectious contact, which we call the contact interval, is a better basis for inference in epidemic data than the generation or serial interval.

Hydroxychloroquine Associated With Lower Glomerular Filtration Rate Decline in Lupus Nephritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) protects kidney function in lupus nephritis (LN) by preventing flares, yet some cohort studies show no significant benefit in kidney function with HCQ. Clarifying these conflicting findings by showing early and long‐term benefits of HCQ on kidney function preservation is critical.

Multiple Imputation For Interval Censored Data With Auxiliary Variables [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We propose a nonparametric multiple imputation scheme, NPMLE imputation, for the analysis of interval censored survival data. Features of the method are that it converts interval-censored data problems to complete data or right censored data problems to

Long‐Term Opioids in Gout: A Matched Cohort Study From the Veterans Health Administration

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Though used frequently to treat flare, risk of long‐term opioid exposure in gout has not been well defined. In this study, we examined the hypothesis that people with gout are more likely than individuals without gout to be prescribed long‐term opioids over time.

Cost‐Effectiveness of Low‐Dose Colchicine Prophylaxis When Starting Allopurinol Using the “Start‐Low Go‐Slow” Approach for Gout: Evidence From a Noninferiority Randomized Double‐Blind Placebo‐Controlled Trial

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the cost‐effectiveness of low‐dose colchicine prophylaxis for preventing gout flares when starting allopurinol using the “start‐low go‐slow” approach. Methods Participants with gout, fulfilling the American College of Rheumatology recommendations for starting urate‐lowering therapy and with serum urate

Interval estimation for parameters of a bivariate time varying covariate model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper investigates several asymptotic confidence interval estimates, based on the Wald, likelihood ratio and the score statistics for the parameters of a parallel two-component system model, with dependent failure and a time varying covariate, when ...

Bayesian Regression Models for Interval-censored Data in R

open access: yesThe R Journal, 2017
The package icenReg provides classic survival regression models for interval-censored data. We present an update to the package that extends the parametric models into the Bayesian framework.
