I am using the rmst2 package on R. When i run the model without covariates, I get this result:
Restricted Mean Survival Time (RMST) by arm
Est. se lower .95 upper .95
RMST (arm=1) 9.788 0.279 9.241 10.334
RMST (arm=0) 10.433 0.396 9.657 11.210
Restricted Mean Time Lost (RMTL) by arm
Est. se lower .95 upper .95
RMTL (arm=1) 2.022 0.279 1.476 2.569
RMTL (arm=0) 1.377 0.396 0.600 2.153
Between-group contrast
Est. lower .95 upper .95 p
RMST (arm=1)-(arm=0) -0.646 -1.595 0.303 0.182
RMST (arm=1)/(arm=0) 0.938 0.855 1.030 0.178
RMTL (arm=1)/(arm=0) 1.469 0.786 2.745 0.228
When I add covariates to this, I get the following output:
Summary of between-group contrast (adjusted for the covariates)
Est. lower .95 upper .95 p
RMST (arm=1)-(arm=0) -0.541 NA NA NA
RMST (arm=1)/(arm=0) 0.950 NA NA NA
RMTL (arm=1)/(arm=0) 1.420 NA NA NA
I have looked at the time, status, and arm variables and cannot find anything missing. Similarly, when looking at the covariates, there are no gaps in data. I tried using different tau cut-offs to see if it would help, but that did not work. Thoughts?
