I would like to try to do a journal club session for my family practice
residents on the uses, and especailly the pitfalls, of compound outcome
variables, like "stroke or myocardial infarction or coronary bypass
surgery." They appear frequently in clinical trial literature. Can
anyone recommend any good articles discussing the issues? Thanks.
