Adjusted Survival Curves
Suppose we want to investigate to what extent some factor influences survival, as an example we might compare the experience of diabetic patients who are using metformin versus those on injected insulin as their primary treatment modality. There is some evidence that metformin has a positive influence, particularly in cancers, but the ascertainment is confounded by the fact that it is a first l...
متن کاملTime scale and adjusted survival curves for marginal structural cox models.
Typical applications of marginal structural time-to-event (e.g., Cox) models have used time on study as the time scale. Here, the authors illustrate use of time on treatment as an alternative time scale. In addition, a method is provided for estimating Kaplan-Meier-type survival curves for marginal structural models. For illustration, the authors estimate the total effect of highly active antir...
متن کاملAdjusted survival curves with inverse probability weights
Kaplan-Meier survival curves and the associated nonparametric log rank test statistic are methods of choice for unadjusted survival analyses, while the semiparametric Cox proportional hazards regression model is used ubiquitously as a method for covariate adjustment. The Cox model extends naturally to include covariates, but there is no generally accepted method to graphically depict adjusted s...
متن کاملAvoiding Bias in Observational Studies
T he randomized clinical trial is a well established and frequently used study design and is generally accepted as the gold standard (1). Nevertheless, many questions can only be answered with epidemiological observational studies, such as the influence of cigarette consumption on the development of lung cancer (2), the effects of sport, nutrition and overweight on cardiovascular diseases (3), ...
