Patients who undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) often experience multiple bacterial infections during the early post-transplant period. In this article, we consider a semiparametric regression model that correlates patient- and transplant-related risk factors with inter-infection gap times. Existing regression methods for recurrent gap times are not directly applicable to study post-transplant infection because the initiating event (transplant) is different than the recurrent events of interest (post-transplant infections); as a result, the time from transplant to the first infection and the time elapsed between consecutive infections have distinct biological meanings and hence follow different distributions. Moreover, risk factors may have different effects on these two types of gap times. We propose a semiparametric estimation procedure to evaluate the covariate effects on time from transplant to thefirst infection and on gap times between consecutive infections simultaneously. The proposed estimator accounts for dependent censoring induced by within-subject correlation among recurrent gap times and length bias in the last censored gap time due to intercept sampling. We study the finite sample properties through simulations and present an application of the proposed method to the post-HSCT bacterial infection data collected at the University of Minnesota.

造血干细胞移植后复发性细菌感染的半参数回归模型

接受造血干细胞移植 (HSCT) 的患者在移植后早期经常经历多种细菌感染。在本文中,我们考虑了一个半参数回归模型,该模型将患者和移植相关的风险因素与感染间隔时间相关联。现有的复发间隔时间回归方法并不直接适用于研究移植后感染,因为起始事件(移植)与感兴趣的复发事件(移植后感染)不同;因此,从移植到第一次感染的时间和连续感染之间经过的时间具有不同的生物学意义,因此遵循不同的分布。此外,风险因素可能对这两种类型的间隙时间产生不同的影响。我们提出了一个半参数估计程序来评估协变量对从移植到第一次感染的时间以及同时连续感染之间的间隔时间的影响。所提出的估计器考虑了由于截距采样而导致的重复间隙时间和最后审查间隙时间中的长度偏差之间的主题内相关性引起的相关审查。我们通过模拟研究有限样本特性,并将所提出的方法应用于明尼苏达大学收集的 HSCT 后细菌感染数据。所提出的估计器考虑了由于截距采样而导致的重复间隙时间和最后审查间隙时间中的长度偏差之间的主题内相关性引起的相关审查。我们通过模拟研究有限样本特性,并将所提出的方法应用于明尼苏达大学收集的 HSCT 后细菌感染数据。所提出的估计器考虑了由于截距采样而导致的重复间隙时间和最后审查间隙时间中的长度偏差之间的主题内相关性引起的相关审查。我们通过模拟研究有限样本特性,并将所提出的方法应用于明尼苏达大学收集的 HSCT 后细菌感染数据。
