In many studies of chronic disease subjects are at risk of different types of recurrent events. For example, transient ischemic attacks may be classified according to location in cardiovascular trials, migraines may be differentiated by severity in neurological studies, and in respiratory studies asthma exacerbations may be subtyped according to cellular analyses of sputum samples.
