Survival analysis of caries incidence in African-American school-aged children.
Objectives To conduct an assessment of time-dependent covariates related to dental caries of the permanent dentition among a low socioeconomic status, understudied cohort of children, incorporating time-dependent covariates through the application of extended Cox proportional hazards modeling. Methods This study modeled the time to first cavitated dental caries in permanent teeth among school-aged children and […]
