Try some of your statistical colleagues at UW.  There are many world experts in the field:  tom Fleming, Scott Emerson, Ross Prentice, etc.

Subject: st: covariates predicting multiple outcomes in survival analysis

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
