  • A systematic method for extracting survival data from Kaplan-Meier curve

    Survival data include the occurrence and duration of an event. As most survival data are distributed irregularly, the Kaplan-Meier method is often used in survival analysis; however, studies usually only report the Kaplan-Meier curve and median survival time and do not provide the original survival data, which creates issues for subsequent secondary research. This study introduced a systematic method whereby image processing software and R software were used to process and extract survival data from published Kaplan-Meier curves. It also introduced the specific steps required to obtain survival data using an example to show the accuracy and feasibility of the extraction method and provided references for the effective secondary use of survival data.
