MATERIAL AND METHODS: All 181 articles published during 1998 and 1999 in the categories {"}review{"}, {"}original contribution{"}, and {"}short communication{"} were analyzed concerning actuarial analysis of time-failure data. RESULT: One hundred and twenty-three publications without time-failure data were excluded from analysis. Forty-five of the remaining 58 publications with time-failure data were evaluated actuarially.
