An Application of Cox's Proportional Hazard Model to Multiple Infection Data

Cox's (1972) proportional hazards model is applied to a prospective study of infection in aplastic anaemia and acute leukaemia patients following bone marrow transplantation. The usefulness of time‐dependent covariates and cause‐specific hazard functions is highlighted.
