		azeirah on Feb 7, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Long-term cardiovascular outcomes of Covid-19 Where do you get those effect sizes from? I'm reading the graphs in the results section with the hazard ratios. All hazard ratios are above 1.5, which if I understand hazard ratio correctly means at least a 50% higher risk compared to regular population? Am I misunderstanding hazard ratios? Or do you get the stats from elsewhere in the paper?

No, I think you're right. I screwed up and was interpreting excess burden as in excess of existing burden, not excess burden per capita. I will edit.

And thank you!
