Overview
Many research questions in health sciences involve the time between a starting event and an outcome of interest. For example, researchers may study the time between a first heart attack and a subsequent heart attack, the length of a hospital stay, the time between prolonged exposure to a carcinogen and the development of cancer, or the time required for recovery after treatment. These durations are often referred to as survival times. Maastricht University - Center for European Studies offers the Survival Analysis programme.
Key facts
In this course, you will learn how to analyse and interpret survival data and answer important research questions such as: Do survival times differ between treatment and control groups? Which patient characteristics are associated with a better or worse prognosis? How can multiple prognostic factors be combined to predict outcomes?
A unique challenge in survival analysis is that, by the end of a study, the event of interest may not have occurred for all participants. As a result, the exact survival time is unknown for some individuals.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Kaplan-Meier survival curves
- Log-rank test
- Hazard ratio and confidence interval for hazard ratio
- Cox regression with multiple prognosis factors
- Cox regression with time-dependent covariates
