Unfortunately, many reports in the biomedical literature haven't been well vetted during peer review for the quality of statistical methods. I'd recommend against Fine-Gray for a situation in which death often precedes the event of interest, as it treats those who have died as still being at risk in some way for the other event. See the vignette on competing risks linked in the answer. | |
| Jul 18 at 14:24 | comment | added | MFA | thanks very much, i see your point regarding death being a competing risk. in many studies investigating time to events, death occurs before the outcome of interest. ive observed most studies dont actually account for death such as by using a Fine and Gray model. so is this an oversight by the study authors or have i missed something? perhaps it depends on other factors such as how often death occurs? | |
