Competing risks with frailty models when treatment affects only one failure type

Abstract

Using a model in which treatment affects only the failure type of primary clinical interest, the use of a cause-specific analysis is examined when the latent failure times are derived from a frailty model. The relationship between the cause-specific hazard ratio and the marginal hazard ratio is expressed in terms of a local dependence measure of the latent failure times.
