Prior distributions used in Bayesian re-analysis of Optimisation of Perioperative Cardiovascular Management to Improve Surgical Outcome. The top panel is a flat prior distribution, beta(1, 1), that was used for both treatment arms. The middle and bottom panels show the evidence-based priors that were derived using a meta-analysis. The middle panel is the prior for the control arm (beta(24.26, 31.58)) and the bottom panel is the prior for the intervention arm (beta(16.46, 49.17)).
