요약	Multicenter competing risks analysis is a time-to-event method applied across multiple clinical centers to estimate the probability of a specific event of interest when other mutually exclusive events — competing risks — can preclude its occurrence. By pooling data from diverse sites, it achieves the sample sizes needed to model rare events and enables assessment of center-level variation in cumulative incidence and covariate effects.	Multicenter Cox proportional hazards regression extends the classic Cox PH model to studies conducted at two or more clinical sites or centers. It estimates the effect of predictors on time-to-event outcomes while explicitly accounting for clustering within centers, between-center heterogeneity, and potential differences in baseline hazard across sites. This design is standard practice in large multicenter RCTs and observational cohort studies in oncology, cardiology, and other clinical fields.
