Using Restricted Mean Time Lost to Evaluate the Prognostic Effects on Locally Advanced Breast Cancer Considering Competing Risks by Li Z, Liu D, Hou Y, Chen Z

“…Univariable and multivariable analyses were conducted to get SHR and RMTLd.Results: SHR can indicate the direction of prognostic factors, while RMTLd can quantify prognostic effects and provide time-scale interpretation. For instance, in adjuvant radiotherapy, the SHR showed a protective effect, which can be quantified as an average increase of 4.15 months in survival time.Discussion: In the presence of competing risks, the combined use of absolute measure RMTLd can more intuitively explain the prognostic effect, which is convenient for clinical practice and communication.Keywords: locally advanced breast cancer, competing risks, restricted mean time lost, sub-distribution hazard ratio…”
