Overview of weighted treatment effect measures using the parametric model assuming constant hazards.

Corresponding Measure a Mathematical Formulation
Constant hazards
Death hazard w/o treatment λ 02
Discharge hazard w/o treatment λ 03
Hazard w/o treatment λ0=λ02+λ03
Death hazard with treatment λ 12
Discharge hazard with treatment λ 13
Hazard with treatment λ1=λ12+λ13
Mortality
Mortality risk w/o treatment at the end of follow-up MR0=λ02λ02+λ03
Mortality risk with treatment at the end of follow-up MR1=λ12λ12+λ13
Mortality risk ratio at the end of follow-up λ12/λ02(λ13+λ12)/(λ02+λ03)
Difference in mortality at the end of follow-up MR1MR0
Hazards and cumulative incidence functions
Hazard ratio of death (treatment vs. w/o treatment) at the end of follow-up HR2=λ12λ02
