Survival table

Description

Function takes a survfit object as an argument, and provides a formatted summary table of the results

Usage

tbl_survfit(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'survfit'
tbl_survfit(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
tbl_survfit(x, y, include = everything(), ...)

## S3 method for class 'list'
tbl_survfit(
  x,
  times = NULL,
  probs = NULL,
  statistic = "{estimate} ({conf.low}, {conf.high})",
  label = NULL,
  label_header = ifelse(!is.null(times), "**Time {time}**",
    "**{style_sigfig(prob, scale=100)}% Percentile**"),
  estimate_fun = ifelse(!is.null(times), label_style_percent(symbol = TRUE),
    label_style_sigfig()),
  missing = "--",
  conf.level = 0.95,
  type = NULL,
  reverse = FALSE,
  quiet = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x

(survfit, list, data.frame)
a survfit object, list of survfit objects, or a data frame. If a data frame is passed, a list of survfit objects is constructed using each variable as a stratifying variable.

...

For tbl_survfit.data.frame() and tbl_survfit.survfit() the arguments are passed to tbl_survfit.list(). They are not used when tbl_survfit.list() is called directly.

y

outcome call, e.g. y = Surv(ttdeath, death)

include

Variable to include as stratifying variables.

times

(numeric)
a vector of times for which to return survival probabilities.

probs

(numeric)
a vector of probabilities with values in (0,1) specifying the survival quantiles to return.

statistic

(string)
string defining the statistics to present in the table. Default is "{estimate} ({conf.low}, {conf.high})"

label

(formula-list-selector)
List of formulas specifying variables labels, e.g. list(age = "Age, yrs", stage = "Path T Stage"), or a string for a single variable table.

label_header

(string)
string specifying column labels above statistics. Default is "{prob} Percentile" for survival percentiles, and "Time {time}" for n-year survival estimates

estimate_fun

(function)
function to format the Kaplan-Meier estimates. Default is label_style_percent() for survival probabilities and label_style_sigfig() for survival times

missing

(string)
text to fill when estimate is not estimable. Default is "--"

conf.level

(scalar numeric)
] Confidence level for confidence intervals. Default is 0.95

type

(string or NULL)
type of statistic to report. Available for Kaplan-Meier time estimates only, otherwise type is ignored. Default is NULL. Must be one of the following:

type	transformation
`"survival"`	`x`
`"risk"`	`1 - x`
`"cumhaz"`	`-log(x)`

reverse

quiet

Examples


library(survival)

# Example 1 ----------------------------------
# Pass single survfit() object
tbl_survfit(
  survfit(Surv(ttdeath, death) ~ trt, trial),
  times = c(12, 24),
  label_header = "**{time} Month**"
)

# Example 2 ----------------------------------
# Pass a data frame
tbl_survfit(
  trial,
  y = "Surv(ttdeath, death)",
  include = c(trt, grade),
  probs = 0.5,
  label_header = "**Median Survival**"
)

# Example 3 ----------------------------------
# Pass a list of survfit() objects
list(survfit(Surv(ttdeath, death) ~ 1, trial),
     survfit(Surv(ttdeath, death) ~ trt, trial)) |>
  tbl_survfit(times = c(12, 24))

# Example 4 Competing Events Example ---------
# adding a competing event for death (cancer vs other causes)
set.seed(1123)
library(dplyr, warn.conflicts = FALSE, quietly = TRUE)
trial2 <- trial |>
  dplyr::mutate(
    death_cr =
      dplyr::case_when(
        death == 0 ~ "censor",
        runif(n()) < 0.5 ~ "death from cancer",
        TRUE ~ "death other causes"
      ) |>
      factor()
  )

survfit(Surv(ttdeath, death_cr) ~ grade, data = trial2) |>
  tbl_survfit(times = c(12, 24), label = "Tumor Grade")
