Report statistics from survfit tables inline

Extracts and returns statistics from a tbl_survfit object for inline reporting in an R markdown document. Detailed examples in the inline_text vignette

# S3 method for tbl_survfit
inline_text(
  x,
  time = NULL,
  prob = NULL,
  variable = NULL,
  level = NULL,
  pattern = x$inputs$statistic,
  estimate_fun = x$inputs$estimate_fun,
  pvalue_fun = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	Object created from tbl_survfit
time	time for which to return survival probabilities.
prob	probability with values in (0,1)
variable	Variable name of statistic to present.
level	Level of the variable to display for categorical variables. Can also specify the 'Unknown' row. Default is NULL
pattern	String indicating the statistics to return.
estimate_fun	Function to round and format coefficient estimates. Default is style_sigfig when the coefficients are not transformed, and style_ratio when the coefficients have been exponentiated.
pvalue_fun	Function to round and format p-values. Default is style_pvalue. The function must have a numeric vector input (the numeric, exact p-value), and return a string that is the rounded/formatted p-value (e.g. pvalue_fun = function(x) style_pvalue(x, digits = 2) or equivalently, purrr::partial(style_pvalue, digits = 2)).
...	tbl_survfit used

Value

A string reporting results from a gtsummary table

Examples

library(survival)
# fit survfit
fit1 <- survfit(Surv(ttdeath, death) ~ trt, trial)
fit2 <- survfit(Surv(ttdeath, death) ~ 1, trial)

# sumarize survfit objects
tbl1 <- tbl_survfit(
  fit1,
  times = c(12, 24),
  label = "Treatment",
  label_header = "**{time} Month**"
)

tbl2 <- tbl_survfit(
  fit2,
  probs = 0.5,
  label_header = "**Median Survival**"
)

# report results inline
inline_text(tbl1, time = 24, level = "Drug B")
#> [1] "41% (33%, 52%)"
inline_text(tbl2, prob = 0.5)
#> [1] "22 (21, NA)"
