Preferred Label : Kaplan-Meier estimate;
MeSH definition : A nonparametric method of compiling LIFE TABLES or survival tables. It combines calculated
probabilities of survival and estimates to allow for observations occurring beyond
a measurement threshold, which are assumed to occur randomly. Time intervals are defined
as ending each time an event occurs and are therefore unequal. (From Last, A Dictionary
of Epidemiology, 1995);
