Stochastic differential equation for modelling health related quality of life
Ralph Brinks
In this work we propose a stochastic differential equation (SDE) for modelling health related quality of life (HRQoL) over a lifespan. HRQoL is assumed to be bounded between 0 and…
Estimation of excess mortality in a chronic condition from current status data with disease duration: simulation study about need for long-term care
Ralph Brinks
This article describes a method to estimate the mortality rate ratio R from current status data with duration in a chronic condition in case the general mortality of the overall po…
Importance of diagnostic accuracy in big data: False-positive diagnoses of type 2 diabetes in health insurance claims data of 70 million Germans
Ralph Brinks, Thaddaeus Toennies, Annika Hoyer
Large data sets comprising diagnoses about chronic conditions are becoming increasingly available for research purposes. In Germany, it is planned that aggregated claims data inclu…
Fast Calculation of Calendar Time-, Age- and Duration Dependent Time at Risk in the Lexis Space
Ralph Brinks
In epidemiology, the person-years method is broadly used to estimate the incidence rates of health related events. This needs determination of time at risk stratified by period, ag…
