Abstract：Survival data is an important type of data for reviewing tumor and other multiple diseases. In recent years, network Meta-analysis based on survival data is thriving. The gemtc package in R software is a software based on Bayesian statistics, which can be used in network Meta-analysis, including the network Meta-analysis of binary and continuous variable and network Meta-analysis of survival material. The gemtc package provides simultaneously heterogeneity checking, consistency checking and merit sorting of different interventional measures. The methods of achieving network Meta-analysis of survival data by using gemtc package were demonstrated with examples in this paper.
