reading endpoint threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly
Genuinely asking, not being difficult. Everyone in c/compounding repeats that hazard ratio is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 23 threads of people agreeing with each other. Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true…
Mechanistically the bit that matters is SELECT. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
absolute risk reduction, not relative risk reduction, that is how you decide
dropout handling matters, especially on GI-heavy populations
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
