摘要:The role of visit-to-visit variability of a biomarker in predicting related disease has been recently recognized in medical science. Existing measures of biological variability are criticized for being entangled with random variability resulted from measurement error or being unreliable due to a limited number of measurements for each individual. We propose a new measure to quantify the biological variability of a biomarker by evaluating the fluctuation of each individual-specific trajectory behind longitudinal processes. Given a mixed-effects model for longitudinal data with the mean function over time specified by cubic splines, the proposed variability measure can be expressed mathematically as a quadratic form of random effects. A Cox-type model is proposed for time-to-event data by incorporating the defined variability as well as the current level of the underlying longitudinal trajectory as covariates, which constitutes the joint modelling framework. Asymptotic properties of maximum likelihood estimators are established for the new joint model. Parameter estimation is implemented via an EM algorithm with fully exponential Laplace approximation to reduce the computation burden due to the increasing dimension of random effects. Simulation studies are conducted to reveal the advantage of the joint modelling method over the two-stage method. We apply the proposed model to investigate the effects of systolic blood pressure variability on cardiovascular events by analyzing an elderly trial data, which motivates actually this research work.Joint work with Dr Chunyu Wang of Cambridge University of the UK.
