Interpreting hazard ratios [PDF]

open access: possibleBMJ, 2015
The impact of isoniazid prophylaxis on mortality and tuberculosis in children with HIV was investigated using a double blind placebo controlled trial. The intervention was isoniazid given with co-trimoxazole either daily or three times a week. Control treatment was placebo isoniazid given with co-trimoxazole.

Estimation of the average hazard ratio

Biometrika, 1981
SUMMARY Simple estimators of the average hazard ratio are obtained for the two sample problem with censored failure time data. These estimators are compared with estimators arising out of the partial likelihood within the proportional hazards class. Efficiency results are found to be generally quite favourable provided the hazard ratio is not too large.

Hazard Ratio Estimator [PDF]

open access: possibleInternational Encyclopedia of Statistical Science, 2005
The two-sample proportional hazards model is studied and a series of semiparametric estimators for the (constant) hazard ratio are presented. These include both Cox's maximum partial likelihood estimator and explicit rank-type estimators.

An explanation of the hazard ratio

Pharmaceutical Statistics, 2004
Several months ago someone attended a course for non-statisticians that I was running and said, ‘If I can go away from this course understanding what a hazard ratio is then it will have been worthwhile!’ Well, here goes. The hazard ratio, like the odds ratio, is not only difficult to explain but its use and interpretation continue to confuse both ...

Hazards and hazard ratios [PDF]

open access: possibleBMJ, 2012
Researchers investigated the risk of colorectal cancer after screening with flexible sigmoidoscopy. A randomised controlled study was undertaken in Norway with a population based sample. The intervention consisted of once only flexible sigmoidoscopy screening with or without a single round of faecal occult blood testing.

Nonparametric Estimation of the Hazard Ratio

Journal of the American Statistical Association, 1984
Abstract A nonparametric estimate of the hazard ratio function is developed and applied to the time-dependent survival advantage of having achieved an objective response to treatment for a given disease. The method computes the total exposure to risk of failure, or dying, among patients in either of two disease states (nonresponder/responder).

Bayesian analysis for monotone hazard ratio

Lifetime Data Analysis, 2010
We propose a Bayesian approach for estimating the hazard functions under the constraint of a monotone hazard ratio. We construct a model for the monotone hazard ratio utilizing the Cox's proportional hazards model with a monotone time-dependent coefficient.

Derivation of hazard ratios

BMJ, 2011
Researchers investigated the extent to which referral from primary care for defined symptoms of hip pain varied by age, sex, and social deprivation in the United Kingdom. A cohort study design was used. Data for individual patients registered at 326 general practices between 2001 and 2007 were extracted from the health improvement network database in ...

Hazards of Hazard Ratios — Deviations from Model Assumptions in Immunotherapy

New England Journal of Medicine, 2018
Look Beyond Hazard Ratios Many trials are based on the proportional-hazards assumption that an event is equally likely in different treatment groups over time and deviations are related to the intervention. Full Kaplan–Meier estimates from earlier trials may be more informative than summary statistics.
