The methods of survival analysis for clinicians.
The methods of survival analysis are required to analyze duration data but their use is restricted possibly due to lack of awareness and the intricacies involved. We explain common methods of survival analysis, namely, life table, Kaplan Meier, log rank and Cox model, in a simple and friendly language so that the medical fraternity can use them with confidence where applicable.
