Resumo	Multicenter Kaplan-Meier analysis applies the Kaplan-Meier nonparametric estimator to time-to-event data collected from two or more clinical centers. By pooling or stratifying data across sites, it estimates survival functions and compares them between treatment groups while accounting for potential center effects, enabling conclusions with greater statistical power and broader generalizability than single-center studies.	Survival analysis is a collection of statistical methods for modeling time from a defined starting point until an event of interest occurs (disease, recovery, death, equipment failure). Kaplan and Meier's nonparametric estimator (1958) and David Cox's proportional hazards model (1972) jointly enabled analysis of censored data—individuals whose event times are unknown because they left the study or were still event-free at follow-up. Indispensable in oncology, cardiology, infectious disease research, engineering reliability, and any field where time-to-event matters.
