title: A test of the association of a time-dependent state variable to survival.
abstract: An SAS macro which implements a more general version of the Mantel-Byar method is presented. Patients are assumed to potentially change between any number of states any number of times until censored or reaching a predefined endpoint. The macro employs methodology which generalizes that of the well-known logrank test to assess the association between state and endpoint.
