st: covariates predicting multiple outcomes in survival analysis

[Laura Gibbons <gibbonsl@u.washington.edu>]

The FAQ on  multiple failure times data in Stata was very useful in 
helping me prepare my data for survival analysis.  I've got 4 types of 
dementia as the events.

My question is, is there any way to test whether a covariate had the 
same/different effect on the 4 types of dementia.

For example, does high blood pressure have the same predictive power for 
each the 4 types of dementia?

I'd appreciate any references that might help me, even if you don't know 
the answer off the top of your head.  My pubmed searches weren't 
productive.

thanks,

Laura
