Description

Time-dependent ventilation status for intensive care unit (ICU) patients, a random sample from the SIR-3 study.

Usage

data(sir.cont)

Format

A data frame with 1141 rows and 6 columns:

id:

Randomly generated patient id

from:

State from which a transition occurs

to:

State to which a transition occurs

time:

Time when a transition occurs

age:

Age at inclusion

sex:

Sex. F for female and M for male

The possible states are:

0: No ventilation

1: Ventilation

2: End of stay

And cens stands for censored observations.

Details

This data frame consists in a random sample of the SIR-3 cohort data. It focuses on the effect of ventilation on the length of stay (combined endpoint discharge/death). Ventilation status is considered as a transcient state in an illness-death model.

The data frame is directly formated to be used with the etm function, i.e. it is transition-oriented with one row per transition.
