For survival analysis in comparative coronavirus disease 2019 trials, the routinely used hazard ratio may not provide a meaningful summary of the treatment effect. The mean survival time difference/ratio is an intuitive, assumption-free alternative. However, for short-term studies, landmark mortality rate differences/ratios are more clinically relevant and should be formally analyzed and reported.
对于比较 2019 年冠状病毒病的临床试验中的生存分析,常规使用的风险比可能无法对治疗效果进行有意义的总结。平均生存时间差异/比是一种直观、无假设的替代方法。但是,对于短期研究,里程碑死亡率差异/比更具有临床相关性,应该进行正式分析和报告。
