Sub-group hypotheses disproved Aspirin ineffective in secondary prevention of stroke in women
Antihypertensives for primary prevention ineffective in women
Antihypertensive treatment ineffective or harmful in elderly
ACEI don’t reduce mortality in CHF patients taking ASA
ß blockers are ineffective after acute MI in elderly
Thrombolysis for acute MI ineffective in previous MI
Tamoxifen ineffective in breast cancer aged <50 years High-dose ASA better than low dose in carotid endarterectomy
Amlodipine reduces deaths in non-ischaemic but not ischemic cardiomyopathy
Platelet-activating factor receptor antagonist reduces mortality in gram-negative sepsis but not in other sepsis
Ticlopidine better than ASA for recurrent stroke in blacks but not whites
Valsartan reduces deaths in patients not receiving ACEI and beta blockers, but not in those who are
Patient presents with tibial fracture
reaming, big nails• more stable
no reaming, small nails• maintains blood supply
could effect differ with fracture severity?• open versus closed
Large RCT: SPRINT
some patient open, some closed
randomized to reamed/unreamed
differences from prior trials• concealed randomization• blinded adjudication of outcomes• proscription from re-operation for delayed union
for six months
1319 randomized, 1226 (93%) followed 1 yr
SPRINT (stratified RRs)
1 20.5
Reamed Nonreamed Relative Risk (95% CI)
Closed Fractures 45/416 68/410 0.67 (0.47, 0.96)
Open Fractures 60/206 46/194 1.27 (0.91, 1.78)
All Patients 105/622 114/604 0.90 (0.71, 1.15)
Believe sub-group analysis – open vs closed tibial fractures?
• within-study comparison? yes
• large difference in effect yes
• unlikely chance p = 0.01
• consistent across studies no
• a priori hypothesis yes
• one of small number hypotheses yes
• biologically compelling yes
Patients with atrial fibrillation
risk of stroke varies• CHADS2: congestive heart failure; hypertension; age
>75; diabetes; prior stroke
risk of stroke varies• CHADs2 0: 8 per 1,000 per year• CHADs2 1: 22 per 1,000 per year• CHADS2: 45 per 1,000 per year• CHADS3: 96 per 1,000 per year
Warfarin 2/3 relative risk reduction• CHADs2 0: 5 per 1,000 per year• CHADs2 1: 14 per 1,000 per year• CHADS2: 40 per 1,000 per year• CHADS3: 64 per 1,000 per year
