Survival is a time-to-event outcome. Tierney et al[10] advocated that time-to-event outcomes account for whether an event took place and the time at which the event occurred, such that both the event and the timing of its occurrence are important. In the survival analysis, both overall and disease-specific survival was included. We considered the HR of each study as the effect size.
