摘要: Background and aim Especially in malign diseases, the therapeutic decision depends on prognosis for individual patient. A is a prediction of future course disease following its onset. Graphical representation such statistical results—such as well-known Kaplan–Meier curve—is often used to assist readers paper interpretation. However, mistakes distortions frequently arise display interpretation survival plots. This review aims highlight pitfalls provide recommendations practice.
