How is Informative Censoring Different from Non-Informative Censoring?
Non-informative censoring occurs when the reason for censoring is unrelated to the outcome of interest. For example, a patient moving out of the study area or choosing to withdraw for personal reasons unrelated to their health status would be considered non-informative. In contrast, informative censoring is directly related to the patient’s health outcome, which makes it a more complex issue to deal with in data analysis.
