Abstract

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, most commonly caused by a viral infection. There are five main type of hepatitis, referred to as types A, B , C, D and E . In this paper the survivor function of hepatitis A and hepatitis B patients are compared. Data is analyzed by using Life Table Survival Analysis. In general, hepatitis B viruses had better survival experienced than hepatitis A viruses, so the hepatitis A patients will recover faster than hepatitis B patients. The median survival time was 9,29 days for hepatitis A patients and 17,36 days for hepatitis B patients.
