Article Synopsis
- The Kaplan-Meier method can overestimate the risk of cancer coming back, especially when other events like death happen first, but the Aalen-Johansen method can give a more accurate picture by considering these events.
- A study looked at research articles about meningiomas (a type of brain tumor) since 2020 and found that only a few used the better method.
- It showed that not using the Aalen-Johansen method mostly led to overestimating the recurrence risk, especially in older patients with more serious tumors.
Background: It has been proposed that plasmapheresis is most effective when applied early in Gram-negative sepsis. We therefore studied the effect of early plasmapheresis on immunity in experimental Escherichia coli endotoxin-induced sepsis.
Methods: 20 pigs received 30 microg/kg of E.
