Hi all,
I'm interested in the impact of orthostatic hypotension on incident dementia. I had done a cox model :
Dementia / Time from baseline to dementia date
No dementia / Time from baseline to the last visit we KNEW they were dementia free
I've been told by a reviewer to do a fine gray model to take into account a potential competing risk of mortality
Should I do :
Dementia / Time from baseline to dementia date
No dementia but death / Time from baseline to death
No dementia no death / Time from baseline to the last visit of follow-up
or for the categories "no dementia but death AND no dementia no death", I should use the time from baseline to the last visit we KNEW they were dementia free like in the cox model?
Must I use the same time to event as in the cox model and just have 3 categories for the fine gray model? Or must I use the time from baseline to death for the group "no dementia no death" whereas I know that before death, they were dementia free at a specific visit.
Thanks so much for your help and advice +++
