Results of analyses of SYNERGY. For all-cause mortality to tmax = 1 year and estimation of the hazard ratio exp(β) in (3.1): intent-to-treat analysis; naive analysis in which event times are artificially censored at times of discontinuation for any reason (censor, all); naive analysis in which event times are artificially censored at times of optional discontinuation (censor, optional); naive proportional hazards analysis with time-dependent treatment indicators as covariates (time-dependent); and inverse risk set weighted analyses using the indicated choice of w(u, Z) (inverse weighted). For the binary outcome TIMI bleeding at tmax = 30 days and estimation of the odds ratio exp(β) at the end of Section 5: intent-to treat analysis; naive analysis deleting all subjects discontinuing treatment for any reason (delete); and inverse weighted analysis. In each case, p-value corresponds to test of null hypothesis β = 0, and standard errors were obtained via the delta method
