Popis: Abstract This paper provides the methodologies of a new summary curve that measures the dynamic outcome following allogenic hematopoietic cell transplantation. This new summary curve computes the probabilities that a patient is alive in remission and free of severe-to-moderate chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) over time. The probability is called Current chronic GVHD-free, Relapse-Free Survival (CGRFS). Based on a multistate model depicting the possible states that a patient may experience after transplant, CGRFS can be formulated as a linear combination of five survival functions. This method is known as the model-free approach. In this paper we provide the inferences of the model-free approach, including estimation of CGRFS, precision evaluation and comparison of CGRFS between two independent samples.
