摘要: Background— The Heart and Estrogen/Progestin Replacement Study (HERS) showed no overall benefit of postmenopausal hormone treatment in women with coronary heart disease (CHD). We analyzed the HERS data to determine whether there were specific subgroups who responded differently treatment, either during first year or study. Methods Results— In search for significant interactions, we a total 86 defined by baseline characteristics. These included demographics lifestyle factors, laboratory physical examination variables, medical history symptoms self-report, medication use, prior CHD chart review. examined within-subgroup effects variables that significantly interacted assignment. Under null hypothesis, 4 (5%) interactions would be expected nominally (P<0.05) chance alone at each time point. Six interaction values P<0.05 at...
