Restricted mean survival time: an alternative to the hazard ratio for the design and analysis of randomized trials with a time-to-event outcome (2013, methodology): “As we discussed in our previous paper [1], several methods of estimating RMST are available, including direct integration of Kaplan-Meier survival curves, a jackknife method, and flexible parametric regression modelling [10,11].”
Life Expectancy of Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Approaches the Life Expectancy of the General Population. (2016, methodology): “The LEL and PELL were predicted from a flexible parametric relative survival model with five degrees of freedom to model the baseline excess hazard.(16,17) Age at diagnosis, year of diagnosis, and sex were all modeled (age and year that continuously used restricted cubic splines(18)), and interactio”
flexsurv: A Platform for Parametric Survival Modeling in R. (2016, background): “An advantage explained by Royston and Lambert (2011) is that when there are multiple time-dependent effects, time-dependent hazard ratios can be interpreted independently of the values of other covariates.”
External validation of a Cox prognostic model: principles and methods (2013, background): “By contrast, parametric models, although much less popular, are fully specified and therefore can estimate absolute risks and survival probabilities [12,15].”
