  • how to graph CIF AND Survival in Competing-risk analysis

    Good morning everyone,

    I am new to competing risk analysis and hope somebody can help figure out a little (I hope) problem.

    I have a cohort of patients who underwent cardiac surgery; Death is a competing event for Cardiac Reoperation over time; I am estimating the CIF of Reoperation with stcompet in STATA IC 15.1:
    Code:
    stset time, failure(failtype==1)
    I have 3 failure types: 1=reoperation, 2= death without reoperation, 0=Alive and no reoperation

    then

    Code:
    stcompet CumInc= ci, compet1(2)
    Code:
    gen Reoperation=CumInc if fail==1
    gen Death= CumInc if fail==2
    now, how can I estimate the last variable: Alive and no reoperation?
    when I use the code:
    Code:
    gen Alive=CumInc if fail==0
    I get only missing values...
    I also tried:
    Code:
    gen Survial=s
    but I believe that now I am estimating the Freedom from Reoperation rather than the overall survival because I have stset the data at the beginning using failtype==1...

    then can anyone tell me how to graph altogether the cumulative incidence function of Reoperartion, Death without reoperation and the Survival (Alive no reoperation)?

    Thank you very much in advance for your help
Working...
