Motivated by studies of recurrent delirium events in patients receiving care in an intensive care unit (ICU), we devise a joint model for a recurrent event process and multiple terminal events. ... We propose a competing joint model that uses a latent frailty to link a patient’s recurrent and competing terminal event processes. ... Lastly, we discuss limitations and possible extensions for the competing joint model.
