Control Clin Trials. 2000 Apr;21(2):115-26. doi: 10.1016/s0197-2456(00)00043-x.

Abstract

The use of multiple events data in the design and analysis of clinical trials is becoming quite common. Several methods for analyzing such data have been proposed in the literature. However, they do not account for deaths in the analysis. In this article, an overview of available methods for modeling recurrent events and death is given. These methods are illustrated using data from an HIV clinical trial.
