More from the actual study:
“Compared to the no HC group, there was a higher risk of death from any cause in the HC group (adjusted HR, 2.61; 95% CI, 1.10 to 6.17; P=0.03) but not in the HC+AZ group”
So again, HC_+AZ = less death. The authors are deliberately disingenuous with their findings versus the actual data.
Bookmsrked, thank you!
