Kaplan-Meier Survival Analysis Overestimates Cumulative Incidence of Health-related Events in the Presence of Competing Risks: A Meta-analysis

Kaplan-Meier survival analysis may overestimate cumulative incidence in competing risks (CR) settings. The clinical significance of this overestimation has been questioned and CR methods are infrequently used. This meta-analysis compares the Kaplan-Meier method to the cumulative incidence function (CIF), a CR method.
