Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background In the REFORM trial, treatment of coronary in‐stent restenosis with a Biolimus A9™ drug‐coated balloon (BCB) was found to be inferior with respect to in‐segment percentage stenosis at 6‐months in comparison to treatment with a standard paclitaxel coated paclitaxel‐coated balloon (PCB). Aims In this manuscript, the final prespecified

Clinical Outcomes of Drug‐Eluting Stents and Drug‐Coated Balloons in Tortuous Small Coronary Lesions
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background In small, tortuous coronary lesions, the long‐term comparative performance of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty versus drug‐eluting stent (DES) treatment remains uncertain, despite both strategies being widely used in contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) practice. Aims This study aimed to compare 3‐year clinical

Dynamic survival risk prediction with time‐varying high‐dimensional images
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Integrating longitudinal data with survival models is a prevalent strategy for dynamic survival risk prediction while accounting for subjects' longitudinally observed variables. However, existing methods primarily focus on scalar longitudinal data and seldom tackle the complexities associated with high‐dimensional longitudinal imaging data ...

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract This article presents a strategy for conducting regression analysis of zero‐truncated recurrent event data. The research is partly motivated by a pediatric mental health care (PMHC) program based on administrative data. We are particularly interested in how the occurrence of an event depends on its past occurrences and the associated ...

Vine copula knockoffs for variable selection in gene expression studies
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Identifying clinical and genetic markers is essential for stratifying cancer patients by survival outcomes and guiding personalized treatment strategies. However, gene expression studies often involve high‐dimensional predictors with mixed data types and complex dependence, which complicates reliable variable selection.

Nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation of the survival function using current lifetime data
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract An issue when estimating the failure time survival function is how to set up a prevalent cohort study infrastructure to follow subjects after enrollment. This problem can be circumvented through the well‐known Grenander density estimator using current lifetime observations only.
