Composite Outcomes vs. Multistate Competing Risks
The primary outcome of most cardiovascular studies is a composite of several major events such as cardiovascular death, death from any cause, non-fatal MI or stroke. A patient is considered to experience a “cardiovascular event” if at least one of these outcomes occurs. Often, analyses are subsequently made of each event separately. This talk presents an alternative that considers the events as unique, but within a single analysis known as competing risks.
The Innovative Discoveries Series, sponsored by the Delaware Clinical & Translational Science ACCEL program and the Christiana Care Value Institute, features informal presentations on topics relevant to current research and healthcare practice, led by knowledgeable and experienced presenters. There are offerings for researchers, healthcare providers, and community members of varying levels of experience.
These free talks are held Fridays at noon at Christiana Hospital but can be viewed from your home or office computer. Earn CMEs by participating in-person or online. Lunch is served and all are welcome to attend.
