Patient Activation in Childhood, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancer Survivors: Current Insights and Implications for Survivorship Care—A Systematic Review From the e‐QuoL Project

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Patient activation—encompassing knowledge, confidence, and skills in managing individual's health—is a cornerstone of person‐centered care. However, its significance among childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors (CAYACS) remains unexplored. This article examines the application of the 13‐item Patient Activation Measure (

Continuity Correction and Standard Error Calculation for Testing in Proportional Hazards Models

Stats
Standard asymptotic inference for proportional hazards models is conventionally performed by calculating a standard error for the estimate and comparing the estimate divided by the standard error to a standard normal distribution.

Comparison of radiomic feature aggregation methods for patients with multiple tumors

Scientific Reports, 2021
Radiomic feature analysis has been shown to be effective at analyzing diagnostic images to model cancer outcomes. It has not yet been established how to best combine radiomic features in cancer patients with multifocal tumors.

Simulating Survival Data Using the simsurv R Package

Journal of Statistical Software, 2021
The simsurv R package allows users to simulate survival (i.e., time-to-event) data from standard parametric distributions (exponential, Weibull, and Gompertz), two-component mixture distributions, or a user-defined hazard function.

Unheard and Under‐Supported: Health‐Related Quality of Life in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults With Sickle Cell Disease

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive hemoglobinopathy affecting millions of individuals worldwide. The clinical expression and psychosocial burden of SCD vary widely across geographical, cultural, and healthcare system contexts, underscoring the need for setting‐specific approaches to assessment.

Semiparametric Autoregressive Conditional Proportional Hazard Models [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2001
A new semiparametric proportional hazard rate model is proposed which extends standard models to include a dynamic specification. Two main problems are resolved in the course of this paper. First, the partial likelihood approach to estimate the components of a standard proportional hazard model is not available in a dynamic model involving lags of the ...

Imaging of High‐Risk Neuroblastoma: Recommendations From SIOPEN Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Specialty Committees

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in early childhood. Its clinical behavior is highly variable, ranging from spontaneous regression to fatal outcome despite intensive treatment. The International Society of Pediatric Oncology Europe Neuroblastoma Group (SIOPEN) Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Specialty Committees ...

The Impact of Violation of the Proportional Hazards Assumption on the Calibration of the Cox Proportional Hazards Model

Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Public Health
INTRODUCTION The Cox proportional hazards regression model is frequently used to develop clinical prediction models for time-to-event outcomes, allowing clinicians to estimate an individual’s risk of experiencing the outcome within specified time ...

A flexible alternative to the Cox proportional hazards model for assessing the prognostic accuracy of hospice patient survival. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Prognostic models are often used to estimate the length of patient survival. The Cox proportional hazards model has traditionally been applied to assess the accuracy of prognostic models.

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...
