We identify two types of random loss that may afflict registries which use 'passive follow-up'. The effects of these errors on estimates related to survival are examined mathematically and numerically. A procedure for correcting the attendant biases is suggested, and its strengths and limitations are explored.
我们识别出了可能困扰采用“被动随访”的登记处的两种随机损失类型。从数学和数值角度研究了这些误差对与生存相关估计值的影响。提出了一种纠正相关偏差的程序,并探讨了其优缺点。
