Modelling recurrent events: a tutorial for analysis in epidemiology
TL;DR: Several modelling techniques for analysis of recurrent time-to-event data are explored, including conditional models for multivariate survival data, marginal means/rates models, frailty and multi-state models, and recommendations for modelling strategy selection are made.

Abstract: In many biomedical studies, the event of interest can occur more than once in a participant. These events are termed recurrent events. However, the majority of analyses focus only on time to the first event, ignoring the subsequent events. Several statistical models have been proposed for analysing multiple events. In this paper we explore and illustrate several modelling techniques for analysis of recurrent time-to-event data, including conditional models for multivariate survival data (AG, PWP-TT and PWP-GT), marginal means/rates models, frailty and multi-state models. We also provide a tutorial for analysing such type of data, with three widely used statistical software programmes. Different approaches and software are illustrated using data from a bladder cancer project and from a study on lower respiratory tract infection in children in Brazil. Finally, we make recommendations for modelling strategy selection for analysis of recurrent event data.

Survival analysis and interpretation of time-to-event data: The tortoise and the hare
Patrick Schober,Thomas R. Vetter +1 more
TL;DR: This tutorial reviews statistical methods for the appropriate analysis of time-to-event data, including nonparametric and semiparametric methods—specifically the Kaplan-Meier estimator, log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards model.
Gut Microbiome Composition Predicts Infection Risk During Chemotherapy in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Hana Hakim,Ronald H. Dallas,Joshua Wolf,Li Tang,Stacey Schultz-Cherry,Victoria Darling,Cydney N. Johnson,Erik A. Karlsson,Ti-Cheng Chang,Sima Jeha,Ching-Hon Pui,Yilun Sun,Stanley Pounds,Randall T. Hayden,Elaine Tuomanen,Jason W. Rosch +15 more
TL;DR: In children undergoing therapy for newly diagnosed ALL, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria before chemotherapy initiation predicts development of febrile neutropenia, and domination of the gut microbiota by Enterococcaceae or Streptococc Families at any time during chemotherapy predicts infection in subsequent phases of chemotherapy.

TL;DR: Age, antibody status and possibly previous attacks predict further attacks in patients treated for NMOSD, and azathioprine and rituximab are superior to interferon-β.

TL;DR: The risk of all SIs, particularly bacterial, respiratory, bloodstream, sepsis, skin, bone and joint infections are significantly increased in patients with RA compared with patients with NIRMD, and this infection risk appears to be greatest in those with higher RA disease activity.

TL;DR: To test the hypothesis that young adult–onset ESRD is associated with higher cardiovascular (CV) hospitalizations and mortality with different characteristics than childhood-onset disease, a population-based cohort study used the US Renal Data System.

TL;DR: The drum mallets disclosed in this article are adjustable, by the percussion player, as to balance, overall weight, head characteristics and tone production of the mallet, whereby the adjustment can be readily obtained.

TL;DR: The drum mallets disclosed are adjustable, by the percussion player, as to weight and/or balance and/ or head characteristics, so as to vary the "feel" of the mallet, and thus also the tonal effect obtainable when playing upon kettle-drums, snare-drum, and other percussion instruments.
