When do we need competing risks methods for survival analysis in nephrology?
Abstract
Survival analyses are commonly applied to study death or other events of interest. In such analyses, so-called competing risks may form an important problem. A competing risk is an event that either hinders the observation of the event of interest or modifies the chance that this event occurs. For example, when studying death on dialysis, receiving a kidney transplant is an event that competes with the event of interest. Conventional methods for survival analysis ignoring the competing event(s), such as the Kaplan-Meier method and standard Cox proportional hazards regression, may be inappropriate in the presence of competing risks, and alternative methods specifically designed for analysing competing risks data should then be applied. This problem deserves more attention in nephrology research and in the current article, we therefore explain the problem of competing risks in survival analysis and how using different techniques may affect study results.

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.
