Abstract
Based on historical regression analyses of survival one may calculate expected survival curves for patients in a study group, based on their observed covariates. This note discusses this calculation and illustrates it on a comparison of the survival of a certain group of liver transplant patients to their prognosis under conservative treatment.Keywords
