However, limited data on safety, effectiveness, and prognostic factors hinder informed decision-making regarding surgery indications, timing, and intervention type.

tdCoxSNN: Time-dependent Cox survival neural network for continuous-time dynamic prediction.

J R Stat Soc Ser C Appl Stat

Department of Biostatistics and Health Data Science, School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.

The aim of dynamic prediction is to provide individualized risk predictions over time, which are updated as new data become available. In pursuit of constructing a dynamic prediction model for a progressive eye disorder, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), we propose a time-dependent Cox survival neural network (tdCoxSNN) to predict its progression using longitudinal fundus images. tdCoxSNN builds upon the time-dependent Cox model by utilizing a neural network to capture the nonlinear effect of time-dependent covariates on the survival outcome.
