The paper proposes compound geometric shared frailty survival models for bivariate related survival times, modifying the standard frailty modeling assumption by letting frailty act additively to the hazard rate rather than multiplicatively. It introduces models with two baseline distributions—generalized log-logistic and generalized Weibull—and estimates parameters using a Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedure, applying model selection criteria to compare performance. The authors apply the approach to the McGilchrist and Aisbett (1991) bivariate kidney infection data and report that the proposed model fits better than existing methods. The paper does not explicitly state clinical or population-related limitations beyond its focus on this statistical framework and its demonstration on that dataset. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract Frailty models are used in the survival analysis to accommodate the unobserved heterogeneity in individual risks to disease and death. To analyze the bivariate data on related survival times (e.g. matched pairs experiments, twin or family data), the shared frailty models were suggested. These models are based on the assumption that frailty act multiplicatively to hazard rate. In this paper, we assume that frailty acts additively to hazard rate. We introduce the compound geometric shared frailty models with two different baseline distributions namely, the generalized log logistic and the generalized Weibull distributions. We introduce the Bayesian estimation procedure using Markov Chain Monte Carlo(MCMC) technique to estimate the parameters involved in these models. We apply these models to a real life bivariate survival data set of McGilchrist and Aisbett(1991) related to the kidney infection data and a better model is suggested for the data. The proposed frailty models are better models to analyze the kidney infection data as compared to existing models in the literature using the model selection criteria.
