Multistate models offer a convenient framework for examining disease progression over time. This webinar will focus on learning multistate modeling approaches in the context of population-wide health administrative data, with specific examples using cancer screening and symptom screening data among individuals residing in Ontario, Canada.
The webinar will:
- Describe the fundamental concepts required for building multistate models
- Describe how multistate models are related to survival models, recurrent event models, and competing risks models
- Discuss challenges that may arise when implementing multistate models using administrative data
- Demonstrate and interpret a multistate model analysis under complete observation using breast cancer screening data among women in Ontario
- Demonstrate and interpret a multistate model analysis under panel observation using symptom screening data among patients with cancer in Ontario
