A randomized control trial in which both survival and longitudinal data were collected to examine the development of prothrombin index over time and its relationship with the survival outcome. 488 patients were randomly allocated to prednisone (251) or placebo (237) and followed until death or end of the study.
A data frame with 2968 observations on the following 9 variables.
ID
patient ID, there are 488 patients in total.
Time
survival time, i.e. time to death or censoring.
death
death indicator: 0 denotes censoring; 1 denotes death.
obstime
time points at which the longitudinal measurements, i.e. prothrombin index, are recorded.
proth
prothrombin index measured at obstime
.
Trt
treatment indicator with two levels: placebo
and prednisone
.
start
same with obstime
, starting time of the interval which contains the time of the prothrombin index measurement.
stop
ending time of the interval which contains the time of the prothrombin index measurement.
event
event indicator suggesting whether the event-of-interest, i.e. death, happens in the interval given by start
and stop
.
