This month's MHRI-GHUCCTS Monthly Statistical Seminar Series will be held Friday, October 18, 2024, from 12 PM - 1 PM. This series features Dr. Paul Kolm, Associate Director in the Center for Biostatistics, Informatics, & Data Science (CBIDS) at MedStar Health Research Institute.

The topic of this month's seminar will be analysis of time-to-event data (survival) where the event of interest is non-fatal, death is a competing risk in that death removes a patient from the calculation of the time to event function and thus underestimates the function. In this seminar we will look at methods for dealing with competing risks (most notably, Fine and Gray’s method) and multistate models where more than one event may be of interest.
