kmplot2: Kaplan-Meier (KM) plot function for anchored and unanchored cases using ggplot

Description

This is wrapper function of basic_kmplot2. The argument setting is similar to maic_anchored and maic_unanchored, and it is used in those two functions.

Usage

kmplot2(
  weights_object,
  tte_ipd,
  tte_pseudo_ipd,
  trt_ipd,
  trt_agd,
  trt_common = NULL,
  normalize_weights = FALSE,
  trt_var_ipd = "ARM",
  trt_var_agd = "ARM",
  km_conf_type = "log-log",
  km_layout = c("all", "by_trial", "by_arm"),
  time_scale,
  ...
)

Value

In unanchored case, a KM plot with risk set table. In anchored case, depending on km_layout,

• if "by_trial", 2 by 1 plot, first all KM curves (incl. weighted) in IPD trial, and then KM curves in AgD trial, with risk set table.

• if "by_arm", 2 by 1 plot, first KM curves of trt_agd and trt_ipd (with and without weights), and then KM curves of trt_common in AgD trial and IPD trial (with and without weights). Risk set table is appended.

• if "all", 2 by 2 plot, all plots in "by_trial" and "by_arm" without risk set table appended.

Arguments

weights_object

an object returned by estimate_weight

tte_ipd

a data frame of individual patient data (IPD) of internal trial, contain at least "USUBJID", "EVENT", "TIME" columns and a column indicating treatment assignment

tte_pseudo_ipd

a data frame of pseudo IPD by digitized KM curves of external trial (for time-to-event endpoint), contain at least "EVENT", "TIME"

trt_ipd

a string, name of the interested investigation arm in internal trial dat_igd (real IPD)

trt_agd

a string, name of the interested investigation arm in external trial dat_pseudo (pseudo IPD)

trt_common

a string, name of the common comparator in internal and external trial, by default is NULL, indicating unanchored case

normalize_weights

logical, default is FALSE. If TRUE, scaled_weights (normalized weights) in weights_object$data will be used.

trt_var_ipd

a string, column name in tte_ipd that contains the treatment assignment

trt_var_agd

a string, column name in tte_pseudo_ipd that contains the treatment assignment

km_conf_type

a string, pass to conf.type of survfit

km_layout

a string, only applicable for unanchored case (trt_common = NULL), indicated the desired layout of output KM curve.

time_scale

a string, time unit of median survival time, taking a value of 'years', 'months', weeks' or 'days'
