	Hazard ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The hazard ratio in survival analysis is the effect of an explanatory variable on the hazard or risk of an event.
		The instantaneous hazard rate is the limit of the number of events per unit time divided by the number at risk as the time interval decreases.
		The hazard ratio is the effect on this hazard rate of a difference, such as group membership (for example, treatment or control, male or female), as estimated by regression models which treat the log of the hazard rate as a function of a baseline hazard h

	Odds ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The odds ratio is a measure of effect size particularly important in Bayesian statistics and logistic regression.
		It is defined as the ratio of the odds of an event occurring in one group to the odds of it occurring in another group, or to a sample-based estimate of that ratio.
		The increased use of logistic regression in medical and social science research means that the odds ratio is commonly used as a means of expressing the results in some forms of clinical trials, such as case-controlled trials, and in survey research.

		The hazard ratio is the ratio of two hazard functions that allows investigators to measure the association between the risk factors and the effects of such factors on the risk functions.
		The hazard ratio is the ratio of the relative hazard to the risk factor (X) changes, i.e., the relative hazard of X = 0 compared to the relative hazard of X = 1.
		Because the hazard ratio of 0.35 was a positive fraction and less than one, it is more meaningful to interpret that male students had almost three times (inverse of 0.35) less of a hazard than female students to experience academic difficulty.

		The hazard ratio in survival analysis is a summary of the difference between two survival curves, representing the reduction in the risk of death on treatment compared to control, over the period of follow-up.
		Proportional hazards regression models (also called Cox regression models after their inventor) assume that the relative risk of death between treatments and controls is constant at each interval of time.

		If the ratio is 0.5, then the relative risk of dying in one group is half the risk of dying in the other group.
		Programs that calculate proportional hazards compute the best-fit values for each of the relative risks (hazard ratios), along with their 95% Cl. If you encounter a program (or publication) that reports P coefficients instead of odds ratios, it is easy to convert.
		The proportional hazards regression model is simple, probably too simple to account for many kinds of data, as it assumes that each X variable contributes independently to the relative risk.

		The hazard ratio (letrozole/placebo) for recurrence showed a statistically significant (p=0.02) trend to a decrease over time indicating a greater benefit of letrozole over time.
		Conclusions: This analysis of the hazard ratios for disease recurrence over time between the letrozole and placebo arms of MA.17 indicates that, at least out to 4 years, the longer patients are exposed to letrozole, the greater the benefit.
		The increasing HR in the placebo group is of note and emphasizes the residual risk of recurrence that exists in women completing 5 years of tamoxifen To further address the issue of duration of letrozole therapy, a re-randomization of all participants completing letrozole on MA.17 to a further 5 years of treatment is underway.
