Kaplan-Meier cumulative survival curves utilizing \(H_{fGn}\) and \(t_{MF}\) as predictive variables are depicted in Fig. 6. The dichotomization of these descriptors was determined by their respective medians (Mdn). However, the analysis revealed that \(H_{fGn}\) and \(t_{MF}\) ...

surveillance of the occurrence of infections during their post-stroke follow-up. Indeed, the acute phase of stroke is a crucial period for survival and functional recovery. Thus, appropriate management can reduce the mortality rate during this period. Therefore, a good follow-up of PLWH is ...
Survival curves of time to AF/stroke onset were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. We used a Cox regression analysis to examine the effect of the SNPs together with covariates on the survival functions of incident AF and ischemic stroke. We used chronological age as the fundamental time ...
The cumulative death rate within 3 years was 18.4% and the model had a C index of 0.7829. While discrimination and calibration are essential properties of any prognostic model, they are uninformative as to clinical value. What a clinician needs to know is the proportion of the patients who ...
