Table 1 Measures estimated from multi-state models that are supported for visualization from the application tool MSMplus
Measure | Description | Tab inside the app |
|---|---|---|
Transition probability | Probability of being in state i at time t, given that someone was in state j at time s, t>s [5] | Probabilities |
Transition intensity rate | The instantaneous risk of transitioning from state j to state i at time t [5] | Hazard |
Hazard Ratios | Hazard ratios between two covariate patterns of experiencing a transition [19] | Hazard |
Transition intensity rate ratios | Ratio between the different transition intensity rates for a certain covariate pattern. The aim is to compare the rates between the different transitions. | Hazard |
Restricted expected length of stay | Total length of stay of an individual in each state over time [20] | Length of stay |
Probability of ever visiting a state | Probability of ever visiting state i by time t | Visit |
Expected number of visits | Expected number of visits in state i [18] | Extra |
Expected first passage times | Expected time for which the proccess will enter state i for the first time [18] | Extra |
Mean sojourn times/Expected single period of occupancy | Mean sojourn time in each transient state i for each covariate pattern of interest [18] | Extra |
Probability that each state is next | Probability that each state j is the state that follows present state i [18] | Extra |
