Effects of Blood Storage on Prostate Cancer Study
Source:R/data-documentation.R
BloodStorageProstate_df.RdThis dataset, BloodStorageProstate_df, is a data frame containing data on 316 men who underwent radical prostatectomy and received a transfusion during or within 30 days of the surgery. The dataset includes demographic, baseline, and prognostic factors, as well as data on the time to biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer, as indicated by prostate serum antigen (PSA) levels. The main exposure of interest was the red blood cell (RBC) storage duration group, and the outcome of interest was time to PSA cancer recurrence.
