When you choose a survival table, Prism automatically analyzes your data.It’s simple to design the graphs you desire. Note that survival analysis works differently than other analyses in Prism. Interpreting results: Comparing three or more survival curves Interpreting results: Comparing two survival curves Interpreting results: Kaplan-Meier curves Go to the automatically created results sheet to see the results of the logrank test, which compares the curves (if you entered more than one data set). View the graph and resultsĪfter you are done entering your data, go to the new graph to see the completed survival curve. See answers to common questions, an example of a clinical study, and an example of an animal study.

Place the corresponding Y codes in the second Y column, leaving the first column blank. Place the X values for the second group of subjects beneath those for the first group (X values do not have to be sorted, and the X column may well contain the same value more than once). Place the X values for the subjects for the first group at the top of the table with the Y codes in the first Y column.


Enter “0” into the rows where the subject was censored at that time. Enter “1” into the Y column for rows where the subject died (or the event occurred) at the time shown in the X column.Optionally, enter row titles to identify each subject.

You have to enter duration as a number, and cannot enter dates directly. In some clinical studies, time zero spans several calendar years as patients are enrolled. Time zero does not have to be some specified calendar date rather it is defined to be the date that each subject entered the study so may be a different calendar date for different subjects. Use any convenient unit, such as days or months.
