Event: Resolution of Herpes Zoster Pain Time-to-event also available
Statistical Modeling Approaches
Logistic Regression: Would do separate rate comparisons at distinct timepoints % with Pain Resolution by 60days, by 120 days …
Cox Proportional Hazards Regression:
Comparison of survival curves across all timepoints
> Uses more information: Event (Yes/No), Time-to-event
> More powerful in identifying systematic differences

CensoringCensoring
Generally, three reasons why censoring Generally, three reasons why censoring might occur:might occur:
A subject does not experience the event A subject does not experience the event before the study endsbefore the study ends
A person is lost to follow-up during the A person is lost to follow-up during the study periodstudy period
A person withdraws from the studyA person withdraws from the study
