• [ ] e.g., -> for example
• [ ] Don't use 'c.f., i.e., etc.' or other abbreviations

• [ ] follow-up vs. follow up -> "follow-up time" "time to follow up"
• [ ] survival function vs. survivor function -> "survival function"
• [ ] hazard rate vs. hazard function -> "hazard function"
• [ ] math in figure and table captions -> Ensure math mode used in captions

A lot of this stuff is picked up by the editors. There's a form we fill in that tells them what conventions we want (e.g., BE vs AE), they won't be able to pick-up maths stuff (e.g., exp and log), 'significant', etc.

Let's discuss on Thurs, better to fix things ASAP
