TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Establishing a competing risk regression nomogram model for survival data JO - Journal of visualized experiments A1 - Wu, Lunpo A1 - Ge, Chenyang A1 - Zheng, Hongjuan A1 - Lin, Haiping A1 - Fu, Wei A1 - Fu, Jianfei SP - e60684 EP - e60684 VL - IS - 164 N2 - The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression model are the most common analyses in the survival framework. These are relatively easy to apply and interpret and can be depicted visually. However, when competing events (e.g., cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, treatment-related deaths, traffic accidents) are present, the standard survival methods should be applied with caution, and real-world data cannot be correctly interpreted. It may be desirable to distinguish different kinds of events that may lead to the failure and treat them differently in the analysis. Here, the methods focus on using the competing regression model to identify significant prognostic factors or risk factors when competing events are present. Additionally, nomograms based on a proportional hazard regression model and a competing regression model are established to help clinicians make individual assessments and risk stratifications in order to explain the impact of controversial factors on prognosis.
