Abstract:
|
Though bariatric surgery has been shown to result in both weight loss and improved kidney function, little is known about how bariatric surgery may alter the relationship between weight and glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and if that relationship changes over time. We propose modeling eGFR and weight trajectories jointly before and after bariatric surgery using Bayesian multivariate functional generalized linear mixed models. Weight and eGFR trajectories are modeled over time with a cubic B-spline basis. Association between outcomes is generated by allowing random components of these trajectories to be correlated and correlation coefficients are estimated over time. Model results are communicated graphically. These methods are highly flexible, supporting multiple outcomes with measurements occurring at different time points, missing data, and the flexible modeling of a wide array of mean and association structures. The Bayesian paradigm allows the estimation of a wide range of statistical quantities together with 95 percent credible intervals.
