Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) emerged over sixty years ago as a groundbreaking and potentially curative treatment for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who were not responding to chemotherapy. In this study, we aimed to investigate prognostic factors for survival after allo-HSCT in AML patients. This retrospective cohort study was carried out using data from 742 adult AML patients underwent allo-HSCT. we analysis prognostic factors for survival after allo-HSCT with censored quantile regression model. The 5-year OS, DFS and GRFS rates were 58, 53, and 30%, respectively. OS for recipients older than 35 years was 0.95 and 1.12 years lower than that for recipients under 35 years in the 25th and 40th percentiles, respectively. Compared to patients in their CRІ, those with CRІІІ disease experienced a decrease in OS at the 25th and 40th percentiles by 1.72 and 3.72 years, respectively. Moreover, OS for ABO matched patients was 0.92 and 1.29 years longer than that of patients with an ABO major mismatch. This study could assist oncologists and hematologists in understanding the prognostic factors affecting patient survival across various survival ranges, thereby potentially extending patients' lifespans.

Cancer Survival Analysis

Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Comparing the Survival Analysis of Two or More Groups

Survival analysis is a cornerstone of medical research, used to evaluate the time until an event of interest occurs, such as death, disease recurrence, or recovery. Unlike standard statistical methods, survival analysis is particularly adept at handling censored data—instances where the event has not occurred for some participants by the end of the study or remains unobserved. To address these unique challenges, specialized techniques like the Kaplan-Meier estimator, log-rank test, and...

Kaplan-Meier Approach01:24

Kaplan-Meier Approach

The Kaplan-Meier estimator is a non-parametric method used to estimate the survival function from time-to-event data. In medical research, it is frequently employed to measure the proportion of patients surviving for a certain period after treatment. This estimator is fundamental in analyzing time-to-event data, making it indispensable in clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and reliability engineering. By estimating survival probabilities, researchers can evaluate treatment effectiveness,...

Introduction To Survival Analysis

Survival analysis is a statistical method used to study time-to-event data, where the "event" might represent outcomes like death, disease relapse, system failure, or recovery. A unique feature of survival data is censoring, which occurs when the event of interest has not been observed for some individuals during the study period. This requires specialized techniques to handle incomplete data effectively.
The primary goal of survival analysis is to estimate survival time—the time...

Actuarial Approach

The actuarial approach, a statistical method originally developed for life insurance risk assessment, is widely used to calculate survival rates in clinical and population studies. This method accounts for participants lost to follow-up or those who die from causes unrelated to the study, ensuring a more accurate representation of survival probabilities.
Consider the example of a high-risk surgical procedure with significant early-stage mortality. A two-year clinical study is conducted,...

Assumptions of Survival Analysis

Survival models analyze the time until one or more events occur, such as death in biological organisms or failure in mechanical systems. These models are widely used across fields like medicine, biology, engineering, and public health to study time-to-event phenomena. To ensure accurate results, survival analysis relies on key assumptions and careful study design.
