How to customize at-risk table using Proc Lifetest

SeaMoon_168 — Fri, 29 Apr 2022 19:42:38 GMT

I want to change the font and size of the at-risk table using Proc Lifetest (shown below). I can find article about how to adjust the font and size for labels and titles. I want to change the table font to Times New Roman and font to 12. Many thanks.

Find the figure online

Hello @SeaMoon_168,

Are you already using the macros provided by SAS that facilitate the customization of the Kaplan-Meier plot? If not, just copy and submit the code from https://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/stat/ex_code/151/templft.html .

Then changing the font family and size is as easy as setting a macro variable (here: AtRiskOpts) between two macro calls:

%ProvideSurvivalMacros

%let AtRiskOpts = labelattrs=(family='Times New Roman' size=12pt)
                  valueattrs=(family='Times New Roman' size=12pt);

%CompileSurvivalTemplates

proc lifetest data=sashelp.BMT
              plots=survival(atrisk(outside maxlen=13));
   time T * Status(0);
   strata Group;
run;

See Controlling the Survival Plot by Modifying Graph Templates for the documentation.
