Drawing Guideline for JKMS Manuscript (01) Kaplan-Meier Curve and Survival Analysis

ABSTRACT

The appropriate plot effectively conveys the author's conclusions to readers. Journal of Korean Medical Science will provide a series of special articles to show you how to make consistent and excellent plots easier. In the first of this series of special articles, I will cover Kaplan-Meier curve (or Kaplan-Meier plot) and the ease tools. This plot, generated as a result of the Survival Analysis, provides a visualization of the ‘Kaplan-Meier Survival Probability Estimate’ for each group.
