Details

The ebmt4 data converted into msdata format (see msprep), where all subsequent states are considered absorbing states. i.e. only transitions out of the initial state are considered, meaning this data constitutes a competing risks model out of the initial state. Code for the derivation of this dataset is provided in the source code for the package.

Source

This dataset was derived from data made available within the mstate package, see ebmt4. The data was originally provided by the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (https://www.ebmt.org/). We reiterate the source statement given by the developers of mstate: "We acknowledge the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) for making available these data. Disclaimer: these data were simplified for the purpose of illustration of the analysis of competing risks and multi-state models and do not reflect any real life situation. No clinical conclusions should be drawn from these data."
