Table 2 Estimated absolute probabilities of the occurrence of various end points 1 month or 6 months after angioplasty or thrombolytic treatment, together with the odds ratios comparing primary angioplasty and thrombolysis and probabilities that angioplasty is superior.

End points Probability (angioplasty)* Mean (95%CrI) Probability (thrombolytics)* Mean (95%CrI) Odds ratio (95%CrI) Probability angioplasty superior
At 1 month
Death 4.5 (3.0 to 6.5) 6.4 (4.5 to 9.0) 0.68 (0.46 to 1.01) 0.97
Non‐fatal reinfarction 2.0 (1.2 to 3.1) 6.1 (4.1 to 8.5) 0.32 (0.20 to 0.51) 1.00
Non‐fatal stroke 0.5 (0.2 to 0.9) 1.9 (1.0 to 3.2) 0.24 (0.11 to 0.50) 1.00
At 6 months
Death 5.5 (3.4 to 8.8) 7.7 (5.0 to 11.8) 0.70 (0.42 to 1.18) 0.93
Non‐fatal reinfarction 2.6 (1.4 to 4.8) 6.9 (4.4 to 10.7) 0.33 (0.20 to 0.67) 0.99
Non‐fatal stroke 0.8 (0.2 to 1.0) 2.8 (1.1 to 6.9) 0.26 (0.08 to 0.72) 0.99

*Results are given as percentages.

The results are for the average observed “angioplasty‐related time delay” (ie, 54.3 minutes).
