The Decomposition of Time-Varying Hazard into Phases, Each Incorporating a Separate Stream of Concomitant Information
Abstract
The hazard function of time-related events, such as death or reoperation following heart valve replacement, often is time-varying in a structured fashion, as is the influence of risk factors associated with the events. A completely parametric system is presented for the decomposition of time-varying patterns of risk into additive, overlapping phases, descriptively labeled as early, constant-hazard, and late. Each phase is shaped by a different generic function of time constituting a family of nested equations and is scaled by a separate logit-linear or log-linear function of concomitant information. Model building uses maximum likelihood estimation. The resulting parametric equations permit hazard function, survivorship function, and probability estimates and their confidence limits to be portrayed and adjusted for concomitant information. These provide a comprehensive analysis of time-related events from which inferences may be drawn to improve, for example, the management of patients with valvar heart disease.

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.
