Hello,
I posted a segment of my Cox regression results. and I have two questions.
Q1: X1 and X2 are continuous variables with hazard ratios of 2.24 and 1.45. I saw many results from papers that the hazard ratios are generally less than 2, so is my result reasonable? I have a ratio of 2.24 after all.
Q2: X3 is a categorical variable, X3=1 with a hazard ratio of 0.88, which means X3=1 can decrease the rate of hazard by 12% (1-0.88), X3=2 with a hazard ratio of 0.21 means X3=2 can decrease the rate of hazard by 79% (1-0.21), can I also say X3=2 could reduce higher degree of hazard than X3=1? I'm not sure if I could compare them directly.
Thank you in advance!
