Because I like killing two birds with one stone. I want to promote @SCYou’s suggestion for a simple PLP study (Defining Cardiovascular related death in RWD).
Of patients who have myocardial infarction, heart failure or stroke and does not have any history of malignancy or other life-threatening condition, which patients will go on to die within 6-months or 1-year (up for debate the right timeframe) of their diagnosis.
The idea is the resulting PLP model could be validated against Chan’s NHIS-NCS cohort data and essentially used to create a phenotype for CV-related death that could be reused by future PLE studies.
