ABSTRACT:
Prediction models play an important role in medicine to
guide treatment decisions and to inform patients on
their prognosis. The vast majority of prediction models
developed in the medical literature have been designed
to predict (disease-free) survival from diagnosis or start
of treatment. But in clinical practice the patient
regularly returns to the physician and it is important
to be able to provide updated predicted probabilities of
survival, taking into account clinical events that may
have occurred, or clinical measurements that may have
been made, between start of treatment and the time of
prediction. Such prediction models, to be used after
start of treatment and taking into account time-dependent
information, are called dynamic prediction models. In
this course we focus on the development and validation of
dynamic prediction models in clinical survival analysis.
It will be discussed how dynamic prediction
probabilities can be obtained using traditional models
and new approaches will be presented that have been
developed in the last few years.
The course will consist of a mix of lectures and computer
practicals.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
Applied statisticians, in particular biostatisticians who
actively involved clinical research. Graduate PhD
students interested in survival analysis.
PREREQUISITES:
Intermediate knowledge of survival analysis, basic
knowledge of the R package.
