碩士 === 靜宜大學 === 財務與計算數學系 === 101 === Peritonitis is a serious complication for peritoneal dialysis patients, in which the causes include diabetics, cardiovascular disease, catheter position etc. In this thesis, repeated and nonrepeated peritonitis are concerned. A patient is followed-up until the first peritonitis is observed. In clinical analysis, physicians often used the data from the patients who have developed peritonitis. However, it will make truncated data and lead to inference biases. Here, we adopt the aspect of competing risk to deal with the data because repeated and nonrepeated peritonitis compete each other. Besides we can get larger sample size of data. We illustrate these aspects by analyzing the data from a medical center in Taichung City of Taiwan.
