Controversy and Debate: Questionable utility of the relative risk in clinical research: Paper 1: A call for change to practice

Suhail A. Doi et al.

Summary: This article demonstrates the problem with using relative risk (RR) as a measure of effect magnitude in clinical trials. It suggests that odds ratio (OR) should be used instead, as it solely measures effect magnitude and is not influenced by the prevalence of an outcome. The author proposes to end the primary use of RR and replace it with OR for more meaningful interpretation of trial results.

Controversy and Debate: Questionable utility of the relative risk in clinical research: Paper 2: Is the Odds Ratio portable in meta-analysis? Time to consider bivariate generalized linear mixed model COMMENT

Mengli Xiao et al.

Summary: Studies in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews have shown that study-specific OR tends to be higher in studies with lower baseline risks and there is a strong negative correlation between OR (RR or RD) and baseline risk, with conditional effects notably varying with baseline risks.

The Odds Ratio is portable across baseline risk but not the Relative Risk: Time to do away with the log link in binomial regression

Suhail A. Doi et al.

Summary: This paper responds to the points raised by Chu and colleagues against replacing the relative risk (RR) with the odds ratio (OR) as the preferred effect measure in clinical epidemiology. Using the same examples, the authors recompute effect estimates and demonstrate the differences between OR and RR, the lack of portability of RR, and the issues with using RR in regression models and meta-analysis.

Mengli Xiao et al.

Summary: The argument to replace risk ratios with odds ratios is based on faulty reasoning and has important errors. The portability of odds ratios and risk ratios varies across settings.

A systematic review supporting the Society for Vascular Surgery Guidelines on the management of carotid artery disease

Bashar Hasan et al.

Summary: This systematic review compared medical management with carotid interventions, CEA with CAS in different patient populations, optimal timing of revascularization post-stroke, screening high-risk patients, and intervention sequence in patients with combined diseases. The results showed that CEA had superior long-term outcomes in different populations, and the optimal timing for revascularization post-stroke was between 2-14 days after onset.

GRADE Guidance 34: update on rating imprecision using a minimally contextualized approach

Linan Zeng et al.

Summary: This study aims to provide updated guidance on the rating of imprecision for users of the GRADE system. The study suggests aligning imprecision criteria based on thresholds and confidence intervals, and recommends rating down two or three levels when the confidence interval crosses the thresholds of interest.

GRADE guidance 35: update on rating imprecision for assessing contextualized certainty of evidence and making decisions

Holger J. Schunemann et al.

Summary: This article introduces a new approach by GRADE for assessing uncertainty, which involves rating down by one, two, or three levels based on serious, very serious, and extremely serious concerns. The approach includes identifying thresholds and using them to evaluate imprecision, while also providing guidance on addressing implausible large effects and trivial or no effects.
