Post-conference course:
Parametric competing risks and multistate models
Thursday September 13, 2018, following the 2018 Nordic and Baltic Stata Users Group Meeting, Michael J. Crowther, Lecturer in Biostatistic, University of Leicester, will give a one day course on parametric competing risks and multistate models
The course is aimed at statisticians and epidemiologists with an interest in modelling survival data.
Multistate models are increasingly being used to model complex disease profiles. By modeling transitions between disease states, accounting for competing events at each transition, we can gain an improved understanding of patients' prognoses and how risk factors impact them over the whole disease pathway.
