Objectives Huge advances in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment mean an increasing number of patients now achieve disease remission. However, long-term treatments can carry side effects and associated financial costs. In addition, some still experience painful debilitating flares, the mechanisms which are poorly understood.

Many factors can lead to an increase in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) different populations. Using advanced structural equation model (SEM), this study is aimed determine most important risk MetS, as a continuous latent variable, using large number males and females. We also evaluate interrelations among associated involved development MetS.

Non-negative continuous outcomes with a substantial number of zero values and incomplete longitudinal follow-up are quite common in medical costs data. It is thus critical to incorporate the potential dependence survival status joint modeling, where censorship death-related. Despite wide use conventional two-part models (CTJMs) capture zero-inflation, they limited conditional interpretations regression coefficients model’s part. In this paper, we propose marginalized model (MTJM) jointly...
