Science - Mathematics & Statistics / Calculating the inverted Kaplan-Meier curve

Spanish term or phrase: se censuran

This is from a (different) 2-column table on calculating the inverted Kaplan-Meier curve. Obviously it doesn't mean that the poor innocents are censured or censored. Does it mean 'included in the study'?

1A. Cree una variable para el tiempo transcurrido hasta el acontecimiento para los niños que no recibieron la vacuna. Algunos niños habrán recibido algunas dosis pero no otras.

1B. Si el niño no recibió la 2.a dosis de pentavalente, el tiempo hasta el acontecimiento es la edad al momento de captar los datos. Estos niños **se censuran,** lo cual significa que no recibieron la vacuna antes del momento de la encuesta, pero calificaban para recibirla en algún momento en el futuro.

I'd actually use "exclude" here.
