Fully Funded PhD Position in Joint modelling of latent trajectories for dynamic prediction of competing outcomes in patients with liver disease Summary of PhD Program
Liver disease is a common cause of illness and death that is increasing in western countries such as the UK and Denmark, particularly for people under 65 years old. However, the population of liver disease patients consists of people who differ with respect to both their cause of disease, and additional factors such as co-existing conditions and their general medical history. Consequently, disease progression varies substantially: some patients may die early from their liver disease, others might be more at risk of death from causes unrelated to liver disease, whereas for other patients their liver disease does not impact on overall survival.
