Regression Analysis of Relative Survival Rates
Abstract
Survival from cancer or other chronic diseases is often measured using the relative survival rate. This, in turn, is defined as the ratio of the observed survival rate in the patient group under consideration to the expected survival rate in a group taken from the general population. At the beginning of the follow-up period, apart from the disease under study, factors affecting survival (e.g. age and sex) should be similar in the two groups. This paper outlines how a proportional hazards regression model may be adapted to the relative survival rates using GLIM. The method is illustrated by data on lung cancer patients diagnosed in Finland in 1 968-1 970.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
