Our Goal here
CHAPTER 9. TIME VARYING (OR TIME-DEPENDENT) COVARIATES
So far, we've been considering the following Cox PH model:
p
(t, Z) = 0(t) exp(Z) = 0(t) exp jZj
j=1
where the covariates Zj are measured at study entry (t = 0).
Important feature of this model:
The
hazard
ratio
(t,Z =z ) (t,Z =0)
=
exp(z)
depends
on
the
covariates
z1, ..., zp, but not on time t.
Now we want to
? relax this assumption, and allow the hazard ratio to depend on time t.
? allow to incorporate time-varying covariates
9.1. EXAMPLES TO MOTIVATE TIME-DEPENDENT COVARIATES 3 9.1 Examples to motivate time-dependent covariates
Stanford Heart transplant example: Variables:
? survival - days since program enrollment until death or censoring ? dead - indicator of death (1) or censoring (0) ? transpl - whether patient ever had transplant
(1 if yes, 2 if no) ? surgery - previous heart surgery prior to program (1=yes, 0=no) ? age - age at time of acceptance into program ? wait - days from acceptance into program until transplant surgery (=. for those without
transplant)

CHAPTER 9. TIME VARYING (OR TIME-DEPENDENT) COVARIATES
Initially, a `Cox PH model' was fit for predicting survival time:
(t, Z) = 0(t) exp(1 transpl + 2 surgery + 3 age)
Does this fit in the framework we have seen so far? Why or why not?
9.1. EXAMPLES TO MOTIVATE TIME-DEPENDENT COVARIATES 5
(t, Z) = 0(t) exp(1 transpl + 2 surgery + 3 age)
(9.1)
? As the covariate `transpl' really changes over time and gets a value depending on how long the patient has been followed . . . this is not a regular Cox PH model as we know it.
? This model could give misleading results, since patients who died more quickly had less time available to get transplants. A model with a timedependent indicator of whether a patient had a transplant at each point in time might be more appropriate:
(t, Z) = 0(t) exp(1 trnstime(t) + 2 surgery + 3 age)
(9.2)
where trnstime(t) = 1 if transpl=1 and wait< t
