Stochastic Ordering of Exponential Family Distributions and Their Mixtures
, 2009 We investigate stochastic comparisons between exponential family distributions and their mixtures with respect to the usual stochastic order, the hazard rate order, the reversed hazard rate order, and the likelihood ratio order.

Developmental Disorders in Children Recently Diagnosed With Cancer
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Neurocognitive deficits in adult survivors of childhood cancer are well established, but less is known about developmental disorders (DD) arising shortly after cancer diagnosis. Using 2016–2019 linked Ohio cancer registry and Medicaid data, we compared DD among 324 children with cancer and 606,913 cancer‐free controls.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background B‐acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B‐ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer, and while most children in high‐resource settings are cured, therapy carries risks for long‐term toxicities. Understanding parents’ concerns about these late effects is essential to guide anticipatory support and inform evolving therapeutic approaches ...

Estimate hazard ratios in small clinical trials without reported hazard ratios
Discover OncologyFor survival studies, pooling hazard ratios (HRs) across multiple clinical trials through meta-analysis is commonly performed to achieve widely accepted and robust conclusions. However, clinical trials sometimes do not report HRs.We developed a new, simple approach to estimate HRs by reconstructing life tables from Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves ...

Prevalent cases in observational studies of cancer survival: do they bias hazard ratio estimates?
British Journal of Cancer, 2009 Observational epidemiological studies often include prevalent cases recruited at various times past diagnosis. This left truncation can be dealt with in non-parametric (Kaplan–Meier) and semi-parametric (Cox) time-to-event analyses, theoretically ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background B‐cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (B‐LBL) represents a rare variety of non‐Hodgkin lymphoma, with limited research on its biology, progression, and management. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical characteristics of 256 patients aged ≤18 years who received treatment under the China Net Childhood Lymphoma (CNCL)‐

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bone tumours present significant challenges for affected patients, as multimodal therapy often leads to prolonged physical limitations. This is particularly critical during childhood and adolescence, as it can negatively impact physiological development and psychosocial resilience.

Coronary-artery bypass surgery in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND The survival benefit of a strategy of coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) added to guideline-directed medical therapy, as compared with medical therapy alone, in patients with coronary artery disease, heart failure, and severe left ...

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The delipid extracorporeal lipoprotein filter from plasma (DELP) treatment can effectively reduce blood lipid, increase blood flow, and improve neurological deficits in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, its effect on vision and retinal microcirculation in stroke patients has never been reported.
