Control (n = 24) 3+, 6, 6, 6, 6, 8, 8, 12, 12, 12+, 15+, 16+, 18+, 18+, 20, 22+,<br />

24, 28+, 28+, 28+, 30, 30+, 33+, 42<br />

The + sign indicates censored data. Until 6 months after treatment, there are no deaths. The effect of the<br />

censoring is to remove from the alive group those that are censored. At time 6 months two subjects have been<br />

censored so the number alive just before 6 months is 23. There are two deaths at 6 months. Thus,<br />

We now reduce the number alive (“at risk”) by two. The censored event at 9 months reduces the “at risk” set<br />

to 20. At 10 months there are two deaths. So the proportion surviving is 18/20 = 0.9, and the cumulative<br />

proportion surviving is 0.913*0.90 = 0.8217.<br />

The data can then be loaded into table as follows:<br />
