La mayoría de los análisis de supervivencia se basan en tiempos de falla exactos y observaciones censuradas a la derecha, utilizándose métodos ampliamente difundidos como el método de Kaplan-Meier (KM). Para estimar la edad de inicio de la Enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) familiar cuando las censuras son arbitrarias (censura a derecha, a izquierda o en intervalo), ¿cuál es el cambio en los resultados clínicos, si se utiliza el método de KM mediante imputación comparado con el método de Turnbull sugerido para este tipo de datos?
El método de Turnbull se comparó con el método de KM mediante un estudio de simulación y una aplicación con datos reales. Se realizó KM con imputación a través del punto medio del intervalo (PM) y en el extremo derecho (ED). Se analizaron diferentes tamaños de muestra y diferentes tiempos entre visitas.
En todos los escenarios de simulación, las funciones que fueron estimadas, usando imputación de datos, difieren significativamente de la verdadera función de supervivencia S(t).
La edad de inicio de la EA determinada a través de un método de imputación tiene implicaciones clínicas relevantes que afectarían la toma de decisiones a la hora de iniciar una terapia preventiva. El método de Turnbull presenta un menor sesgo cuando se necesita realizar un análisis de supervivencia con censuras arbitrarias.
Most of the survival analysis are based on exact failure times and right censored observations, using methods widely known as the Kaplan-Meier (KM). To estimate the onset age of familial Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) when the censor times are arbitrary (right, left or interval censor), what is the change in clinical outcomes, using the KM method with data imputation compared with procedure proposed by Turnbull for this kind of data?
Turnbull’s method was compared with KM method in a simulation study and an application with real data. KM method was based on data imputation through the midpoint of the interval (MP) and the right side of the interval (RS), considering several sample sizes and different times between visits.
In all simulation scenarios estimated functions using data imputation differ significantly from the actual simulated survival function S(t).
The estimated onset age of AD through data imputation methods has relevant clinical implications that would affect decision-making in initiating preventive therapy. Turnbull’s method has fewer bias when was compared with KM with imputation to perform a survival analysis with arbitrary censure data.
