Abstract
How an analysis of a multistate model for survival data may compare with an ordinary survival analysis is discussed. A study of mortality and incidence of nephropathy in insulin dependent diabetes is used as illustration. Proportional hazards regression models with time‐dependent covariates and regression models for relative mortality are used for the transition intensities. Alternative basic time scales are also considered.
