This study introduces novel statistical models for analyzing multiple recurrent events with interval-censored data, crucial for understanding disease progression in cancer patients. The methods provide reliable estimates for treatment effects and event associations.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Clinical Trials
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Recurrent event data with multiple event types are common in medical research.
  • Interval censoring, where event times are known only within intervals, complicates analysis.
  • Understanding associations between different event types is critical for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop statistical models for joint analysis of multi-type, interval-censored recurrent events.
  • To characterize incidence, covariate effects, and associations between event types.
  • To provide robust inference methods for complex event data.

Main Methods:

  • Development of joint models for multi-type interval-censored recurrent events.
  • Utilizing Gibbs sampling for intractable likelihoods in random effect models.

  • Employing generalized estimating equations for marginal model inference.

    • Main Results:

    • Simulation studies demonstrate negligible bias in regression and variance-covariance parameter estimates.
    • Confidence intervals show excellent empirical coverage probabilities.
    • The methods were successfully applied to advanced breast cancer data.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed statistical methods offer reliable tools for analyzing multi-type interval-censored recurrent event data.
    • These methods enhance understanding of disease progression and treatment impacts in clinical settings.
    • The findings are particularly relevant for cancer research, such as bone metastases.
