    The restricted mean survival time (RMST) analysis is crucial for evaluating time-to-event endpoints in clinical research.

  • 2

    Identifying an optimal threshold time for RMST analysis significantly affects treatment comparison results.

  • 3

    A novel method for determining threshold time enhances statistical power and controls type I error rates in RMST analysis.

  • 4

    The proposed method is validated through applications in oncology and gerontology studies, demonstrating its practical utility.

  • 5

    Choosing an appropriate threshold time is essential for meaningful group comparisons and maximizing restricted mean lifetime differences.
