P16 A Comparison of the Cox-Proportional Hazard Model and the Fine-Gray Model to Predict Survival in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Abstract

Predicting survival for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using the traditional Kaplan Meier (KM) model or Cox proportional hazard (CPH) model leads to over-simplification as competing events are ignored. The Fine-Gray (FG) competing risk model accounts for these competing events. This study compared the methodologies for analyzing the impact of various prognostic factors on survival.
