A computer program for comparing survival experience of two groups after adjustment for relevant covariates.
A computer program is described which evaluates the difference in survival between two groups of patients based on the methods of Mantel [1] and Hankey and Myers [3]. Life table analysis is based on the stratification of prognostic variables. In addition, an adjusted survival curve is computed for one group of patients relative to the other group based on differences in the distribution of these variables. Plots of cumulative survival curves are optionally provided.
