Getting more out of survival data by using the hazard function.

Kenneth R. Hess, +1 more
- 15 Mar 2014 - 
TL;DR: The hazard function tracks the instantaneous failure rate over time among the surviving patients and can be readily estimated with available software and illustrated how these estimates can be used in conjunction with estimates of the survival function to glean clinically relevant information from survival data.

Is surveillance imaging effective for detecting surgically treatable recurrences in patients with melanoma? A comparative analysis of stage-specific surveillance strategies.

Natasha M. Rueth, +8 more
- 01 Jun 2014 - 
TL;DR: The effectiveness of routine surveillance imaging for detecting treatable melanoma recurrences is limited and even in patients with stage III disease, only minimal gains in life expectancy were achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of methods for fixed effects meta-analysis of individual patient data with time to event outcomes:

Catrin Tudur Smith, +1 more
- 01 Jan 2007 - 
TL;DR: Comparisons of commonly used methods for fixed effects meta-analysis of individual patient time-to-event data suggest that under normal conditions all three methods provide similar results.

Prognostic study of continuous variables (white blood cell count, peripheral blast cell count, haemoglobin level, platelet count and age) in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Analysis Of a population of 1545 children treated by the French Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Group (FRALLE).

Jean Donadieu, +11 more
- 01 Dec 2000 - 
TL;DR: Variations in the relative risk of relapse or death as a function of continuous prognostic variables in childhood ALL are analyzed and consensus cutpoints must be defined if one wants to avoid the Will Rogers phenomenon.

Mohit Bhandari, +12 more
- 01 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: The HEALTH trial as discussed by the authors compared outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA) versus hemiarthroplastic surgery (HA) in patients with displaced femoral neck fractures.

Mineral Metabolism, Mortality, and Morbidity in Maintenance Hemodialysis

Geoffrey A. Block, +5 more
- 01 Aug 2004 - 
TL;DR: Hyperphosphatemia and hyperparathyroidism were significantly associated with all-cause, cardiovascular, and fracture-related hospitalization, and the population attributable risk percentage for disorders of mineral metabolism was 17.5%, owing largely to the high prevalence of hyperph phosphatemia.

Overall Survival and Updated Results for Sunitinib Compared With Interferon Alfa in Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

Robert J. Motzer, +18 more
- 01 Aug 2009 - 
TL;DR: Sunitinib demonstrates longer overall survival compared with IFN-alpha plus improvement in response and progression-free survival in the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic RCC, highlighting an improved prognosis in patients with RCC in the era of targeted therapy.

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy or Primary Surgery in Stage IIIC or IV Ovarian Cancer

Ignace Vergote, +17 more
- 01 Sep 2010 - 
TL;DR: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery was not inferior to primary debulked surgery followed by chemotherapy as a treatment option for patients with bulky stage IIIC or IV ovarian carcinoma in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Survival and Prognostic Stratification of 670 Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

Robert J. Motzer, +5 more
- 01 Aug 1999 - 
TL;DR: Five prognostic factors for predicting survival were identified and used to categorize patients with metastatic RCC into three risk groups, for which the median survival times were separated by 6 months or more.
