Benchmarking survival outcomes: A funnel plot for survival data [PDF]

Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 2022
Benchmarking is commonly used in many healthcare settings to monitor clinical performance, with the aim of increasing cost-effectiveness and safe care of patients. The funnel plot is a popular tool in visualizing the performance of a healthcare center in relation to other centers and to a target, taking into account statistical uncertainty.

Deep learning for survival outcomes [PDF]

Statistics in Medicine, 2020
Deep learning is a class of machine learning algorithms that are popular for building risk prediction models. When observations are censored, the outcomes are only partially observed and standard deep learning algorithms cannot be directly applied. We develop a new class of deep learning algorithms for outcomes that are potentially censored. To account

Survival Outcomes and Prognostic Factors in Glioblastoma

Cancers, 2022
Background: IDH-wildtype glioblastoma is the most common malignant primary brain tumour in adults. As there is limited information on prognostic factors outside of clinical trials; thus, we conducted a retrospective study to characterise the glioblastoma population at our centre.

Survival Outcomes in Elderly Patients With Glioblastoma [PDF]

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 2015
Many elderly glioblastoma patients are excluded from randomised trials due to age, comorbidity or poor functional status. The purpose of this study was to describe the survival outcomes in all elderly patients with glioblastoma managed at a tertiary cancer centre.A retrospective chart review identified 235 elderly patients (age 65 years or over) with a

Bayesian Survival Modelling of University Outcomes [PDF]

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A: Statistics in Society, 2016
SummaryDropouts and delayed graduations are critical issues in higher education systems world wide. A key task in this context is to identify risk factors associated with these events, providing potential targets for mitigating policies. For this, we employ a discrete time competing risks survival model, dealing simultaneously with university outcomes ...

Outcomes and Survival [PDF]

Physical Therapy, 1996
A pebble rolling down a hill can easily be studied. Even from the perspective of one who stands before the pebble, the forces that set it in motion and the path that it takes can be considered, the anomalous bounces contemplated. The absence of danger provides the observer with time for reflection.

Pitfalls of the concordance index for survival outcomes

Statistics in Medicine, 2023
Prognostic models are useful tools for assessing a patient's risk of experiencing adverse health events. In practice, these models must be validated before implementation to ensure that they are clinically useful. The concordance index (C‐Index) is a popular statistic that is used for model validation, and it is often applied to models with binary or ...
