AB When  clinicians  consider  the  results  of  clinical  trials,  they  are  interested  in  the  association  between  a  treatment  and  an  outcome.  This  chapter  will  help  you  understand  and  interpret  study  results  related  to  outcomes  that  are  either  present  or  absent  (dichotomous  or  binary)  for  each  patient.  Such  binary  outcomes  include  death,  stroke,  myocardial  infarction,  hospitalization,  or  disease  exacerbations.  A  guide  for  teaching  the  concepts  in  this  chapter  is  also  available.1
