c. Why would you want to produce Kaplan-Meier Survival Curves after stratifying for a variable?

Stratification allows you to compare survival by different levels of a variable, adding yet another layer of adjustment (control) in a model. In this example, total time on study was subdivided into 5 time intervals. Because the probability of survival changes over time, stratification enabled survival patterns to be compared at various stages or observation times. It may be that despite treatment, length of time lived beyond diagnosis has an affect on survival. Stratification controls for this effect.
