COBISS.SI-ID: 32893696This was an invited lecture at the STRATOS session of the annual conference of the International Society for Clinical Biostatistics. The lecture gave an overview of the most commonly met issues in survival analysis. Many of these issues can be seen from two points of view. On a basic level, the misunderstanding of the issues and usage of overly simplistic approaches can lead to considerable biases and misleading results. Two important examples of this are the immortal bias and the fact that a competing event preventing the primary event from happening is falsely recognised as right-censoring. On the second level, a better understanding of the available methodology can lead to a more complex analysis that allows for optimal usage of the information in the data. The lecture addressed the estimation of transition intensities and transition probabilities. As a further example, we shall turn to issues in the relative survival field, which can be seen as a special case of competing risks where the cause of event is unknown.
