Figure 1.
Mode estimates and 95% bootstrap confidence intervals (gray) of the log relative risk for each drug and their simulated relative risk (black) across two conditions with different prevalence. The first 10 covariates represent the estimates from one condition with a prevalence of 20 patients; the second 10 represent estimates from the condition with high prevalence, affecting 1000 patients; and the last 10 covariates represent a second condition with low prevalence, affecting 10 patients. Using the multiple outcomes in an aggregated approach (a) produces less appropriate estimates than the hierarchical outcomes approach (b).
