r - 当因子分层时，在 RStudio 中使用 ggforest 绘制 Cox PH 模型？

Question

当需要对模型变量之一进行分层时，我试图找到一种方法来从 Cox-PH 模型制作风险比的森林图。对于非分层模型，ggforest()功能非常好。运行一些示例代码

library(survival)
library(survminer)

model <- coxph(Surv(time, status) ~ sex + rx + adhere,
               data = colon )
ggforest(model)

colon <- within(colon, {
  sex <- factor(sex, labels = c("female", "male"))
  differ <- factor(differ, labels = c("well", "moderate", "poor"))
  extent <- factor(extent, labels = c("submuc.", "muscle", "serosa", "contig."))
})
bigmodel <-
  coxph(Surv(time, status) ~ sex + rx + adhere + differ + extent + node4,
        data = colon )
ggforest(bigmodel)

产生这个图

但是，如果我必须纠正分层的非比例性

stratamodel <- coxph(Surv(time, status) ~ sex + strata(rx) + adhere + differ + extent + node4,
                     data = colon )
ggforest(stratamodel)

出现以下错误消息:

"Error in [.data.frame(data, , var) : undefined columns selected

另外: 警告信息:

In .get_data(model, data = data) : The data argument is notprovided. Data will be extracted from model fit."

关于如何从层模型中获取 ggforest 需要的信息以便它可以生成绘图的任何建议？谢谢你的帮助!

Answer 1

我认为所需的森林图是简单地跳过模型公式中分层 RX 变量的图。如果是这样，我们可以简单地在其中插入一个 if 子句，以忽略与数据中的列名不完全对应的公式部分(例如“strata(rx)”不是列名)。
方法一
如果您对 R 足够熟悉以修改函数，请运行 trace(ggforest, edit = TRUE)并替换 allTerms <- lapply(...) (大约第 10-25 行)在具有以下版本的弹出窗口中:

allTerms <- lapply(seq_along(terms), function(i) {
  var <- names(terms)[i]
  if(var %in% colnames(data)) {
    if (terms[i] %in% c("factor", "character")) {
      adf <- as.data.frame(table(data[, var]))
      cbind(var = var, adf, pos = 1:nrow(adf))
    }
    else if (terms[i] == "numeric") {
      data.frame(var = var, Var1 = "", Freq = nrow(data), 
                 pos = 1)
    }
    else {
      vars = grep(paste0("^", var, "*."), coef$term, 
                  value = TRUE)
      data.frame(var = vars, Var1 = "", Freq = nrow(data), 
                 pos = seq_along(vars))
    }
  } else {
    message(var, "is not found in data columns, and will be skipped.")
  }
  
})

ggforest(stratamodel) # this should work after the modification

修改不会持续到后续的 R session 。如果你想在当前 session 中撤销修改，只需运行 untrace(ggforest) .

这是 ggforest 的快照功能与目前相同，并进行了与上述相同的修改。如果包的创建者将来对包进行修改，这可能会损坏或过时。但现在， ggforest2(stratamodel)将产生与方法 1 相同的结果。
