Abstract

Three-dimensional age-specific mortality trajectory features the rate of aging and risk for mortality of a population with respect to time (t) and age (x). Demographic and clinical records of patients are key elements to the assessment of interventional outcomes during survival analysis. Herein, a step-by-step protocol shows the retrieval of parametric estimations from both conventional and modified maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) to determine mortality trajectory of hematopoietic stem cells transplant (HSCT) patients characterized by their treatment type.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
