Format

A balanced data set with respect to the times at which observations recorded. The data consists of the following variables on each patient:

ID

patient identifier.

FVC

forced vital capacity (%) determined at 3-month intervals from the baseline.

time_RE

time at visit at 3-month intervals.

intercept

column of 1's for model setup.

time

time at visit at 3-month intervals. Same as time_RE.

FVC0

forced vital capacity (%) at baseline.

FIB0

baseline lung fibrosis.

CYC

treatment allocation. Coded as 1 = oral cyclophosphamide; 0 = placebo.

FVC0.CYC

interaction term between FVC0 and CYC.

FIB0.CYC

interaction term between FIB0 and CYC.

time.CYC

interaction term between time and CYC.

time.CYC

interaction term between time and CYC.

surv

time to treatment failure or death.

failure_type

treatment failure/death indicator. Coded as 0 = censored; 1 = death; 2 = treatment failure.
