Analysis of recurrent events - cumulative incidence curves in SAS (using the Ghosh-Lin estimator?)

kc — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 05:37:18 GMT

I am trying to plot cumulative incidence curves for an event (lets call it event1, which can be recurrent) treating death as a competing risk. After a little bit of research, I found this link (http://publicifsv.sund.ku.dk/~pka/SACT19-part2/recevent-marginal19.pdf) where slides 25 onwards has a discussion about generating such curves. Specifically, I believe slide 32 has SAS code that accomplishes this task. I just want to make sure that the code presented here is based on the Ghosh-Lin estimator?

And, I am using the regular "counting process style" described here: https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.3/statug/statug_phreg_details12.htm to create the input dataset.

I couldn't find any documentation or an example on the SAS website that talks about the Ghosh-Lin estimator.

Any pointers in the right direction are appreciated!

The example of PROC PHREG might help you .

Although this example in SAS documentation takes in to account competing risk, I don't think this example takes in to account recurrent nature of the data. And, not sure whether the result is based on Ghosh-Lin estimator.
