  1. Time-dependent concordance indices are used and compared to standard Cox model using baseline variables only, landmarking and the Dynamic-DeepHit-Lite (DDHL) method. Prediction time refers to the period over which data was collected: at baseline and +1 to 3 years after starting active surveillance. Evaluation time is the follow-up period over which events were predicted. The results shown are averaged over 5 random training/testing splits.
