Definition: A hazard ratio (HR) compares how often an event happens over time in one group with how often it happens in another. The NCI says a hazard ratio of 1 means no difference between the groups. Above 1, the event happened more often in the first group; below 1, less often.
| Label and comparison | Event rates | Hazard ratio (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|
| Evenity vs alendronate, major heart events | 2.0% vs 1.1% | 1.87 (1.11 to 3.14) |
| Evenity vs placebo, major heart events | 0.8% vs 0.8% | 1.03 (0.62 to 1.72) |
| Egrifta SV vs placebo, HbA1c reaching 6.5% or higher by week 26 | 5% vs 1% | 3.3 (1.4 to 9.6) |
| Actos vs placebo, bladder cancer over 13 years of trial and follow-up | Did not differ | 1.00 |
The labels print a range in brackets (the 95% confidence interval) next to most ratios. For Evenity against placebo the range runs from 0.62 to 1.72, on both sides of 1.
Evenity against alendronate
A hazard ratio describes groups in a trial, not what will happen to one person. Your log of doses and any events is what your prescriber can weigh against it.
