TIME-TO-EVENT DATA
The event might be:● discharge from hospital● weaning of a breast-fed infant● recurrence of tumour● remission of a disease etc.
The time starting point might be:● time of diagnosis● time of surgery● time of entrance into the study etc.

FOR FRED…
Event: next seizure
Starting point: time of randomisation (to treatment or no treatment)
![Page 11: Dr Laura Bonnett Department of Biostatistics. UNDERSTANDING SURVIVAL ANALYSIS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e4c5503460f94b40ed2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CENSORING
Event is often not observed on all subjects:Drop-out
End of study
Individuals for whom the event is not observed are called censored

HAZARD RATIO
• Hazard ratio (HR) is a measure of the relative survival in two groups• Ratio of the hazard for one group compared to
another
• Hazard is the chance that at any given moment, the event will occur, given that it hasn’t already done so.
![Page 17: Dr Laura Bonnett Department of Biostatistics. UNDERSTANDING SURVIVAL ANALYSIS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e4c5503460f94b40ed2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Confidence interval for the hazard ratio:
• Accuracy
• Significance
• Hazard ratios are similar to relative risks and
odds ratios

INTERPRETATION
E.g. Risk of seizure for a person on Treatment (x1 = 1) compared to Control (x1 = 0), assuming they are alike for all other covariates (x2, x3, etc.).

INTERPRETATION FOR BINARY VARIABLE
If b is the regression coefficient of a binary
variable, x
exp(b) = hazard ratio for x = 1 relative to x = 0
HR > 1: x = 1 has increased hazard relative to x = 0
HR < 1: x = 1 has decreased hazard relative to x = 0
HR= 1: x has no effect on survival
![Page 24: Dr Laura Bonnett Department of Biostatistics. UNDERSTANDING SURVIVAL ANALYSIS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e4c5503460f94b40ed2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
INTERPRETATION FOR BINARY VARIABLE
E.g. Immediate vs. delayed treatment decision
exp(b) = hazard ratio for immediate relative to delayed
HR > 1: immediate has increased hazard relative to delayed
HR < 1: immediate has decreased hazard relative to delayed
HR= 1: treatment decision has no effect on risk of seizure
![Page 25: Dr Laura Bonnett Department of Biostatistics. UNDERSTANDING SURVIVAL ANALYSIS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e4c5503460f94b40ed2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
INTERPRETATION FOR CONTINUOUS VARIABLE
A continuous variable x can be any value
exp(b) = hazard ratio for x = k+1 relative to x = k
i.e. as x increases by 1 unit, the hazard is multiplied by exp(b)
HR > 1: as x increases, the hazard increases
HR < 1: as x increases, the hazard decreases
HR = 1: x has no effect on survival
![Page 26: Dr Laura Bonnett Department of Biostatistics. UNDERSTANDING SURVIVAL ANALYSIS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e4c5503460f94b40ed2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
INTERPRETATION FOR CONTINUOUS VARIABLE
E.g. Age (in years)
exp(b) = hazard ratio for Age = k+1 relative to Age = k
HR > 1: as age increases, the chance of seizure increases
HR < 1: as age increases, the chance of a seizure decreases
HR= 1: age has no effect on the chance of a seizure
![Page 27: Dr Laura Bonnett Department of Biostatistics. UNDERSTANDING SURVIVAL ANALYSIS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e4c5503460f94b40ed2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
INTERPRETATION FOR CATEGORICAL VARIABLE
A categorical variable, x, can take one of several valuesTo obtain HRs, ‘dummy (binary) variables’ must be created e.g.
Interpretation is then as for binary variables
Dummy Variable 1 Dummy Variable 2
Baseline Category 0 0
Alternative Category 1 1 0
Alternative Category 2 0 1
![Page 28: Dr Laura Bonnett Department of Biostatistics. UNDERSTANDING SURVIVAL ANALYSIS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e4c5503460f94b40ed2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
INTERPRETATION FOR CATEGORICAL VARIABLE
E.g. EEG Results (normal, abnormal, not done)
Dummy Variable 1 Dummy Variable 2
Normal 0 0
Abnormal 1 0
Not done 0 1
Dummy Variable 1
HR > 1: abnormal results has increased hazard relative to normal results
HR < 1: abnormal results has decreased hazard relative to normal results
HR= 1: EEG result has no effect on survival
![Page 29: Dr Laura Bonnett Department of Biostatistics. UNDERSTANDING SURVIVAL ANALYSIS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e4c5503460f94b40ed2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Dummy Variable 2
HR > 1: not done results has increased hazard relative to normal results
HR < 1: not results has decreased hazard relative to normal results
HR= 1: EEG result has no effect on survival
INTERPRETATION FOR CATEGORICAL VARIABLE
E.g. EEG Results (normal, abnormal, not done)
Dummy Variable 1 Dummy Variable 2
Normal 0 0
Abnormal 1 0
Not done 0 1

ASSUMPTIONS OF THE COX MODEL
Hazard for an individual in one group is proportional to the
hazard for an individual in another group for all time t.

BACK TO FRED…
Immediate antiepileptic drug treatment reduces the occurrence of seizures in the next 1-2 years, but does not affect long-term remission in individuals with single or infrequent seizures.
![Page 35: Dr Laura Bonnett Department of Biostatistics. UNDERSTANDING SURVIVAL ANALYSIS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e4c5503460f94b40ed2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
PROGNOSTIC & PREDICTIVE MODELS
![Page 36: Dr Laura Bonnett Department of Biostatistics. UNDERSTANDING SURVIVAL ANALYSIS](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e4c5503460f94b40ed2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
PROGNOSTIC vs. PREDICTIVE FACTORS
Prognostic
“A situation or condition, or a characteristic of a patient, that can be used to estimate the chance of recovery from a disease or the chance of the disease recurring (coming back). “
Predictive
“A condition or finding that can be used to help predict whether a person’s cancer will respond to a specific treatment. Predictive factor may also describe something that increases a person’s risk of developing a condition or disease.”
