Add risk tables below the plot showing the number at risk, events observed, and number of censored observations.

## Usage

add_risktable(
times = NULL,
risktable_stats = c("n.risk", "cum.event"),
risktable_group = c("auto", "strata", "risktable_stats"),
risktable_height = NULL,
stats_label = NULL,
combine_groups = FALSE,
theme = theme_risktable_default(),
size = 3.5,
...
)

## Arguments

times

numeric vector of times where risk table values will be placed. Default are the times shown on the x-axis. The times passed here will not modify the tick marks shown on the figure. To modify which tick marks are shown, use ggplot2::scale_x_continuous(breaks=).

risktable_stats

character vector of statistics to show in the risk table. Must be one or more of c("n.risk", "cum.event", "cum.censor", "n.event", "n.censor"). Default is c("n.risk", "cum.event").

• "n.risk" Number of patients at risk

• "cum.event" Cumulative number of observed events

• "cum.censor" Cumulative number of censored observations

• "n.event" Number of events in time interval

• "n.censor" Number of censored observations in time interval

risktable_group

String indicating the grouping variable for the risk tables. Default is "auto" and will select "strata" or "risktable_stats" based on context.

• "strata" groups the risk tables per stratum when present.

• "risktable_stats" groups the risk tables per risktable_stats.

risktable_height

A numeric value between 0 and 1 indicates the proportion of the final plot the risk table will occupy.

stats_label

named vector or list of custom labels. Names are the statistics from risktable_stats= and the value is the custom label.

combine_groups

logical indicating whether to combine the statistics in the risk table across groups. Default is FALSE

theme

A risk table theme. Default is theme_risktable_default()

size, ...

arguments passed to ggplot2::geom_text(...). Pass arguments like, size = 4 to increase the size of the statistics presented in the table.

## Customize Statistics

You can customize how the statistics in the risk table are displayed by utilizing glue-like syntax in the risktable_stats argument.

For example, if you prefer to have the number at risk and the number of events on the same row, you can use risktable_stats = "{n.risk} ({cum.event})".

You can further customize the table to include the risk estimates using elements c("estimate", "conf.low", "conf.high", "std.error"). When using these elements, you'll likely need to include a function to round the estimates and multiply them by 100.

add_risktable(
risktable_stats =
c("{n.risk} ({cum.event})",
"{round(estimate*100)}% ({round(conf.low*100)}, {round(conf.high*100)})"),
stats_label = c("At Risk (Cum. Events)", "Survival (95% CI)")
)

## Competing Risks

The ggcuminc() can plot multiple competing events. The "cum.event" and "n.event" statistics are the sum of all events across outcomes shown on the plot.

## Examples

p <-
survfit2(Surv(time, status) ~ sex, data = df_lung) %>%
ggsurvfit() +

# using the function defaults

# change the statistics shown and the label
p +
risktable_stats = "n.risk",
stats_label = list(n.risk = "Number at Risk"),
)
