.... Methods A systematic review of the literature was conducted to identify the phase 3 RCTs in ndGBM incorporating the Stupp protocol as an arm. For the selected studies, we extracted individual patient survival pseudodata of the Stupp protocol arm by digitizing the Kaplan–Meier plots. A comprehensive...

Methods A total of 88 patients having ACL injury were included in this cross-sectional study. 3D PD sequences were used...

The Minimal Assessment of Cognitive Function in Multiple Sclerosis (MACFIMS) is the gold standard neuropsychological battery (NPB) for detecting CI. Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (DKEFS) NPB evaluates ED. We aimed...

... varied among sites. Juvenile largemouth bass and robust redhorse did not survive past 13 and 23 d, with corresponding Kaplan‐Meier median survival estimates of 9.7 and 12.1 d, respectively. Survival of adult fathead minnows deployed in cages alongside the juvenile fish averaged 43% at the end of the 28‐d...

... to the beginning of autumnal diapause in barley cultivars selected from across feed, forage, and two- or six-row malt groups. Field experiments were conducted in Gallatin and Chouteau counties, Montana, in 2016 and 2017. We used Kaplan-Meier estimation to assess larval survival among cultivars. We found...

We show the performance of privacy-protecting solutions for the widely used Kaplan-Meier nonparametric survival model. Results We empirically evaluated...

... treat times to natural death as uncensored observations and sacrifice times as censored observations. In most cases, a nonparametric estimate of the survival curve for each group is constructed by using the methods of Kaplan and Meier (1958), and the survival distributions are compared via some...

... of the BICR medians. Results The Kaplan–Meier (KM) curve for the BICR PFS can often be exaggerated. The degree of bias is largest when there is reasonably strong correlation between BICR and local PFS, especially when PFS is long compared with assessment frequency. This can result in an exaggeration...

... a traditional Kaplan–Meier survival analysis, an ‘optimistic’ approach, where women were censored if they did not have a live birth and did not return for a subsequent IVF cycle or at the end of six IVF cycles. The analysis encompasses up to six cycles, similar to the Malizia et al. (2009 ) analysis...

Survival data for a group of subjects is usually visualized by the Kaplan–Meier estimator, representing the probability of a subject remaining free of the event during follow-up. There are several methods to compare...
