Title Winter School: Competing Risks and Multi-state Models
Description This course will focus on how to analyse and interpret data in the competing risk, and the more general, multi-state model setting. Competing risks models play an increasingly important role for predicting absolute risks of disease and prognosis using time to event data. An overarching goal of this course is to provide a solid introduction to important concepts in the presence of competing risks (e.g., which quantities can be estimated and what they represent) as well as practical aspects of estimation.

Throughout the course emphasis is placed on the use of flexible parametric survival models that incorporate restricted cubic splines on the log hazard or log cumulative hazard scale.

The course is taught using Stata making use of the multistate and merlin packages.
