What are time to event outcomes?
Time-to-event outcomes take account of whether an event takes place and also the time at which the event occurs, such that both the event and the timing of the event are important. For example, in cancer a cure may not be possible, but it is hoped that a new intervention will increase the duration of survival.

What are the methodological considerations of time to event?
There are 4 main methodological considerations in the analysis of time to event or survival data. It is important to have a clear definition of the target event, the time origin, the time scale, and to describe how participants will exit the study. Once these are well-defined, then the analysis becomes more straight-forward.
What makes time to event ( TTE ) data unique?
What is unique about time-to-event (TTE) data? Time-to-event (TTE) data is unique because the outcome of interest is not only whether or not an event occurred, but also when that event occurred. Traditional methods of logistic and linear regression are not suited to be able to include both the event and time aspects as the outcome in the model.
