The risk of rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm increases with size. It has thus been recommended that small aneurysms be continuously followed with some type of imaging technique to detect when aneurysm size constitutes an indication for surgery. The present study focuses on the growth rate of
## Abstract Shared random effects joint models are becoming increasingly popular for investigating the relationship between longitudinal and timeβtoβevent data. Although appealing, such complex models are computationally intensive, and quick, approximate methods may provide a reasonable alternative
