Title: Comparison of Methods for Analyzing Recurrence Cardiac Arrhythmia Data
Author(s): Shelby Li*+
Companies: Medtronic Inc.
Address: 1015 Gramsie Road, Shoreview, MN, 55126,
Keywords: recurrent events ; Cardiac device ; Clinical Trials
Abstract:

In cardiac device clinical trials, cardiac arrhythmia episodes are often the center interest of many researchers; therefore they are also chosen as one study end point. Counting process models and analysis of recurrent events models could both be adopted to assess the risk factors for an event. In this exercise, results from fitting a log-linear model, a conditional model, a marginal model and a time-to-first event model are compared.
