  • Can mecloglog be used for multi-failure outcomes in discrete-time survival analysis?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm running a data analysis to evaluate the association between a time-varying predictor (knee pain) and incident falls in the following year using mixed-effects complementary log-log regression models because the falls were assessed yearly. For a specific person, fall may occur at different years.
    My question is: should I use the first outcome occurrence (and drop data thereafter) or allow repeated outcomes? And if the later is allowed in mecloglog, should I just assign incident outcomes as 1 at some timepoints and 0 at others? (see example below, kneepain is assessed prior to falls: e.g. the first row means kneepain at year 0)

    ID falls kneepain year
    1 0 1 1
    2 1 1 2
    3 0 0 3
    4 1 1 4
    ... ... ... ...

    Any idea? Thank you
Working...
