DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.3860
Abstract: We recently showed that zoledronate prevented fractures in older women with osteopenia (hip T‐scores between −1.0 and −2.5). In addition to fewer fractures, this study also suggested that women randomized to zoledronate had fewer vascular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/sim.7843
Abstract: The medical literature contains numerous examples of randomized clinical trials with time-to-event endpoints in which large numbers of events accrued over relatively short follow-up periods, resulting in many tied event times. A generally common feature… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/15732479.2019.1581229
Abstract: Abstract Various methods have modeled failures due to hazard events using joint survival functions by assuming independent failure among the events. This paper evaluates the impact of two competing risks events: “natural” crack deterioration, and… read more here.
