Introduction to the Analysis of Survival Data in the Presence of Competing Risks

Peter C. Austin, Douglas S. Lee, Jason P. Fine

Short summary

When analyzing survival data where one event can prevent another (competing risks), use the cumulative incidence function (CIF) for crude incidence estimates, not the Kaplan-Meier curve, which overestimates incidence. Regression models can target either cause-specific hazards (etiology) or CIF (prognosis).
