A dataset containing parametric competing-risk survival estimates used for examples in the package vignettes. It was originally produced by a Weibull parametric survival model fitted to an aortic-valve surgery cohort and exported from SAS via tp.hp.dead.sas.

Format

A data frame with 2001 rows (fine time grid) and 41 columns:

years

Follow-up time in years.

months

Follow-up time in months (years * 12).

time

Follow-up time in years (same as years; retained for SAS compatibility).

lag_time

Lagged follow-up time (equals time for standard output).

dt

Time increment between consecutive time points.

sedeath

Parametric survival estimate: freedom from death (percent).

sldeath

Lower 95 % confidence limit for sedeath.

sudeath

Upper 95 % confidence limit for sedeath.

hedeath

Instantaneous hazard rate estimate for death.

hldeath

Lower 95 % confidence limit for hedeath.

hudeath

Upper 95 % confidence limit for hedeath.

vedeath

Variance of the death survival estimate.

nodeath

Cumulative probability of death by time t (percent).

cldeath

Lower 95 % confidence limit for nodeath.

cudeath

Upper 95 % confidence limit for nodeath.

no1death

Identical to nodeath in this extract.

tx1death

Cumulative hazard integral for death (Weibull model internal).

txdeath

Cumulative hazard for death (same scale as tx1death).

sestrk

Parametric survival estimate: freedom from stroke (percent).

slstrk

Lower 95 % confidence limit for sestrk.

sustrk

Upper 95 % confidence limit for sestrk.

hestrk

Instantaneous hazard rate estimate for stroke.

hlstrk

Lower 95 % confidence limit for hestrk.

hustrk

Upper 95 % confidence limit for hestrk.

vestrk

Variance of the stroke survival estimate.

nostrk

Cumulative probability of stroke by time t (percent).

clstrk

Lower 95 % confidence limit for nostrk.

custrk

Upper 95 % confidence limit for nostrk.

no1strk

Identical to nostrk in this extract.

tx1strk

Cumulative hazard integral for stroke (Weibull model internal).

txstrk

Cumulative hazard for stroke (same scale as tx1strk).

cestrk

Percent free of stroke, 100 - nostrk.

noinit

Percent event-free (still in the initial state).

clinit

Lower 95 % confidence limit for noinit.

cuinit

Upper 95 % confidence limit for noinit.

no1init

Identical to noinit in this extract.

z

Log-hazard estimate for the pooled Weibull model.

sez

Standard error of z.

cllz

Lower 95 % confidence limit for z (log-hazard scale).

cluz

Upper 95 % confidence limit for z (log-hazard scale).

check

Row sum of noinit, nodeath and nostrk; about 100.

Details

The three states tracked are competing risks; at every time point the percentages in the three states sum to 100 (see check):

init

Event-free (still in the initial state)

death

Death

strk

Stroke

Each outcome suffix maps to: se* = survival estimate; sl*/su* = lower / upper 95 % CI on the survival estimate; he* = hazard rate estimate; hl*/hu* = lower / upper 95 % CI on the hazard; ve* = variance of the survival estimate; no* = cumulative incidence (percent); cl*/cu* = lower / upper 95 % CI on the cumulative incidence; no1* = identical to no* in this extract; tx*/tx1* = cumulative hazard integral (Weibull model output, used internally).
