Estimand when treatment delays disease onset

Datamethods Discussion Forum [Unofficial] March 4, 2026

An interesting trial found that a treatment delayed disease onset, but did not reduce overall incidence at end of follow up: What estimand would you target in such cases? I thought about “difference in time unwell” as in https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2825081 but I wonder if there are other interesting estimands for this interesting clinical case scenario
