Reconstructing patient level survival data from published Kaplan-Meier curves

Based on an extensive number of reconstructions, we demonstrated that reconstructed data provided similar estimates overall to those from published papers. The quality of the reproduced data depends on the presence of noise in the published curves and whether the preprocessing step is properly done.

Abstract

Based on an extensive number of reconstructions, we demonstrated that reconstructed data provided similar estimates overall to those from published papers. The quality of the reproduced data depends on the presence of noise in the published curves and whether the preprocessing step is properly done.
