Modelling cancer outcomes of bone metastatic patients: combining survival data with N-Telopeptide of type I collagen (NTX) dynamics through joint models

Abstract Background Joint models (JM) have emerged as a promising statistical framework to concurrently analyse survival data and multiple longitudinal responses. This is particularly relevant in clinical studies where the goal is to estimate the association between time-to-event data and the biomar...
