TBCpyrthi: Data of tumor recurrence in patients with bladder cancers....

In TestSurvRec: Statistical tests to compare two survival curves with recurrent events

Description

This database corresponds to the time of recurrence of tumors of 69 patients with bladder cancer. Patients were randomly assigned to treatments: pyridoxine (38 patients) and thiotepa (31 patients). Data type data.frame with 171 observations on 8 variables.

Usage

data(TBCpyrthi)

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

j : Observation number

id : ID of each unit. Repeated for each recurrence

Tinicio: Inicial time

time : recurrence o censoring time

event : censoring status.

strata : Number of strata

trt : Factor w/ 2 levels "Pyridoxine","Thiotepa"

group : a factor with levels. Group identificator.

Details

Experiment Byar (1980). The database Byar experiment is used and the time (months) of recurrence of tumors in 116 sick patients with superficial bladder cancer is measured. These patients were randomly allocated to the following treatments: placebo (47 patients), pyridoxine (31 patients) and thiotepa (38 patients).
