Optimising statistical methodologies for estimating antimalarial efficacy for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria by Dahal, P

“…Kaplan-Meier (K-M) approach, the currently recommended method, overestimated treatment failure by up to 3.6% compared to a competing risk survival analysis approach. Simulation studies demonstrated that the magnitude of this overestimation increased with declining drug efficacy in high transmission areas, where a substantial fraction of patients develop new infections. …”
