Background We conducted a meta-analysis in nonmetastatic breast cancer patients treated
by neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) to assess the clinical validity of circulating tumor cell …

The area under the time‐dependent ROC curve (AUC) may be used to quantify the ability of
a marker to predict the onset of a clinical outcome in the future. For survival analysis with …

The concordance probability is a widely used measure to assess discrimination of
prognostic models with binary and survival endpoints. We formally define the concordance …

Thanks to the growing interest in personalized medicine, joint modeling of longitudinal
marker and time‐to‐event data has recently started to be used to derive dynamic individual …

We show that the widely used concordance index for time to event outcome is not proper
when interest is in predicting a-year risk of an event, for example 10-year mortality. In the …

The ROC curve and the corresponding AUC are popular tools for the evaluation of
diagnostic tests. They have been recently extended to assess prognostic markers and …

To quantify the ability of a marker to predict the onset of a clinical outcome in the future, time‐
dependent estimators of sensitivity, specificity, and ROC curve have been proposed …

Aims We aimed to investigate the long-term cardio-protective effect associated with beta-
blocker (BB) treatment in stable, optimally treated myocardial infarction (MI) patients without …

Abstract Background/Aims Intrusive luxation is a frequent injury in the primary dentition.
Complications such as ankylosis or pulp necrosis (PN) and infection with periapical …

Background: Heart failure (HF) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) has received
