In survival analysis, time‐varying covariates are covariates whose value can change during
follow‐up. Outcomes in medical research are frequently subject to competing risks (events …

This article is the second of a series of 2 educational articles. In the first article, we described
the basic concepts of survival analysis, summarizing the common statistical methods and …

Mutualistic interactions with microbes have facilitated the radiation of major eukaryotic
lineages [1, 2]. Microbes can notably provide biochemical abilities, allowing eukaryotes to …

In survival analysis, competing events preclude the occurrence of the event of interest. The
censoring of competing events is common in medical studies but leads to biased cumulative …

In studies with survival or time‐to‐event outcomes, a competing risk is an event whose
occurrence precludes the occurrence of the primary event of interest. Specialized statistical …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of EGFR mutations on the
incidence of brain metastases in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer …

Background Treatment of cancer patients in certified cancer centers, that meet specific
quality standards in term of structures and procedures of medical care, is a national …

Objectives: To identify the “core domains”(ie, patient outcomes, health-related conditions, or
aspects of health) that relevant stakeholders agree are essential to assess in all clinical …

Abstract Objectives Kaplan–Meier survival analysis overestimates cumulative incidence in
competing risks (CRs) settings. The extent of overestimation (or its clinical significance) has …

Background Post‐pancreatitis diabetes mellitus (PPDM) is a common consequence of
chronic pancreatitis (CP). We aimed to determine the incidence and predictors of PPDM …
