PCA Clustering Using GMCSF + RO52 LIPS Data
Below are data attempting to find PCA-based clusters, utilizing RO52 and GMCSF LIPS measurements.
Given we know from above that GMCSF levels differ based on JO1 vs non-JO1 antibody status, we have included that variable as well in our clustering generator.

This plot (and table printed above) suggests that the hazard from age is not proportional, meaning the model assumptions are violated.
We can adjust for this by stratifying based on age.

The above is based on limiting follow-up time to 10 years following the bleed_date.
It seems there is a group of both JO1 and non-JO1 patients (groups 1 and 4, respectively), with high RO52 and low GMCSF, who have an increased hazard (for group 1: HR 3.3507099 [95% CI 1.2404952, 9.050625]) relative to patients with low RO52, regardless of their GMCSF levels.
