DOI: 10.1007/s11060-019-03101-6
Abstract: BackgroundRe-Irradiation (Re-RT) is an established treatment option for young patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). Multiple reports show a low risk of side-effects as well as a good efficacy resulting in median survival times ranging from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.eururo.2019.04.002
Abstract: Hazard ratios (HRs) are frequently misinterpreted. We describe an easily estimated complementary measure, the difference in restricted mean survival time (RMST), that requires fewer assumptions than the HR and is more readily interpretable. Reporting RMST-based… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jvim.14617
Abstract: Background Although pituitary‐dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH) is one of the most common endocrinopathies in dogs, the effects of withholding treatment on survival time in dogs with PDH remain unclear. Hypothesis/Objectives The purpose of this study was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2021/9965856
Abstract: In this article, based on progressively type-II censored schemes, the maximum likelihood, Bayes, and two parametric bootstrap methods are used for estimating the unknown parameters of the Weibull Fréchet distribution and some lifetime indices as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1098612x17718416
Abstract: Objectives Radioiodine (131I) dose determination using radiotracer kinetic studies or scoring systems, and fixed relatively high 131I dose (ie, 4 or 5 mCi) administration, are effective and associated with prolonged survival times for hyperthyroid cats.… read more here.

Testing microbiome associations with survival times at both the community and individual taxon levels
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PLoS Computational Biology"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1010509
Abstract: Background Finding microbiome associations with possibly censored survival times is an important problem, especially as specific taxa could serve as biomarkers for disease prognosis or as targets for therapeutic interventions. The two existing methods for… read more here.
