Application of inverse probability weights in survival analysis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2015
Suppose that a researcher is interested in comparing two ‘‘treatments’’—A and B—and how the treatment affects an outcome of interest. The ideal study design would be to conduct a randomized trial where treatment assignment is randomly assigned. The random treatment assignment aims to make the subjects between the two treatments similar, i.e., it aims ...

Inverse Probability Weighted Cox Regression for Doubly Truncated Data [PDF]

open access: yesBiometrics, 2017
SummaryDoubly truncated data arise when event times are observed only if they fall within subject-specific, possibly random, intervals. While non-parametric methods for survivor function estimation using doubly truncated data have been intensively studied, only a few methods for fitting regression models have been suggested, and only for a limited ...

Splenic hilar lymph node dissection enhances survival in Bormann type 4 gastric cancer

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Splenic hilar (no.10) lymph node dissection during total gastrectomy is no longer recommended for advanced proximal gastric cancer. However, the treatment efficacy of no.10 lymph node dissection in Borrmann type 4 tumors remains unclear.
