My reading of the manual and my use of str(test1) on the simple example suggests that you try using the na.action component of the model object. That should return the index of elements that were excluded.

Is there a function providing more descriptive statistics than

more info on certain numbers.

If my call is something like:

Call:
coxph(formula = Surv(followup, CasesCancer) ~ age + BMI + parity + HRT)

I'd like to know:

* How many CasesCancer was excluded (not only the total number of
excluded due to missing)

If I understand your question, once you have the indices it should be fairly straightforward to display or count the cases excluded in the Surv object (if you meant as opposed to the censored records).

* Distribution of variables (where are the NA's)
