A Bayesian Location‐Scale Joint Model for Time‐To‐Event and Multivariate Longitudinal Data With Association Based on Within‐Individual Variability

Abstract

Within‐individual variability of health indicators measured over time is becoming commonly used to inform about disease progression. Simple summary statistics (e.g., the standard deviation for each individual) are often used but they are not suited to account for time changes. In addition, when these summary statistics are used as covariates in a regression model for time‐to‐event outcomes, the estimates of the hazard ratios are subject to regression dilution. To overcome these issues, a joint model is built where the association between the time‐to‐event outcome and multivariate longitudinal markers is specified in terms of the within‐individual variability of the latter. A mixed‐effect location‐scale model is used to analyze the longitudinal biomarkers, their within‐individual variability and their correlation. The time to event is modeled using a proportional hazard regression model, with a flexible specification of the baseline hazard, and the information from the longitudinal biomarkers is shared as a function of the random effects. The model can be used to quantify within‐individual variability for the longitudinal markers and their association with the time‐to‐event outcome. We show through a simulation study the performance of the model in comparison with standard joint models with constant variance. The model is applied on a dataset of adult women from the UK cystic fibrosis registry, to evaluate the association between lung function, malnutrition and mortality.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
