Hazard ratios (HRs) are frequently misinterpreted. We describe an easily estimated complementary measure, the difference in restricted mean survival time (RMST), that requires fewer assumptions than the HR and is more readily interpretable. Reporting RMST-based measures may benefit shared decision-making.
风险比(HR)经常被误解。我们描述了一种易于估计的补充衡量指标,即受限平均生存时间(RMST)的差异,它比 HR 假设更少,更易于解释。报告基于 RMST 的衡量指标可能有利于共同决策。
