Predicting clinical events using Bayesian multivariate linear mixed models with application to scleroderma

Abstract Background Scleroderma is a serious chronic autoimmune disease in which a patient’s disease state manifests in several irregularly spaced longitudinal measures of lung, heart, skin, and other organ systems. Threshold crossings of pulmonary and cardiac measures indicate potentially life-thre...
