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.

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

Robert J. Motzer, +5 more
- 01 Aug 1999 -

Comparing Current Definitions of Return to Work: A Measurement Approach

Ivan A. Steenstra, +4 more
- 14 Mar 2012 -

Eldad J. Dann, +2 more
- 01 Sep 1997 -

Statistical analysis of arthroplasty register data.

Jonas Ranstam, +1 more
- 31 Mar 2010 - 
TL;DR: Development of arthroplasty register guidelines for statistical analysis could play an important role in making these registers even more useful, and the statistical analysis and reporting of data from arthro Plasty registers can be improved.

Eric Wajnberg, +5 more
- 01 Jul 2003 - 
TL;DR: The proximate behavioural rules adopted by parasitoid females to manage their foraging time on patches of hosts were studied, under standardized laboratory conditions, in different species (and populations) of the Trichogrammatidae (Hymenoptera) family.

The Kumaraswamy-Log-Logistic Distribution

Tiago Viana, +4 more
TL;DR: Based on the log-logistic and Kumaraswamy distributions, this paper introduced the called KumarASwamy-log-logistics distribution, which contains several important distributions discussed in the literature as sub-models such as the loglogistic, exponentiated log- logistic and Burr XII distributions, among several others.
