For comparisons reasons with a recent study [16], we added an additonal breakpoint at 4 y, and found that the proportion of increased variance as a function of the status score at the end of the period for the age intervals 2 4 y and 4 6 y are respectively 0.05 and 0.04 by adding the status score at the start of the period to the model.
The evidence presented here confirmed that these postoperative complications mediated significant proportion of increased mortality risk, and that this varied by the type of complication.
Although we do not indicate exactly how such complexities should be corrected for, we use some simple informal adjustments to show how they may account for a substantial proportion of increased incidence, which might otherwise erroneously have been attributed to overdiagnosis.
We applied a weighted analysis whereby 30% of patients lost to follow-up were assumed to be dead, weighted by baseline CD4 and age, as suggested by Egger et al. 15 Mediational modeling was conducted to estimate the proportion of increased risk of mortality in men attributable to later ART initiation 16 using recently developed methods for survival analysis.
Finally, in a lung cancer case control study, VanderWeele et al. (2012) employed two 15q25.1 SNPs, rs8034191 and rs1051730, to show that the proportion of increased risk due to smoking was only 3.2%% and that the association of the 15q25 variants with lung cancer operates primarily through pathways other than smoking behaviour.
Nonetheless, by quantifying the proportion of increased mortality attributable to later initiation we have highlighted the urgency of increasing engagement to care.
