Published 19 May 2022 Epidemiologists commonly use an adjusted hazard ratio or incidence density ratio, or a standardized mortality ratio, to measure a difference in all-cause mortality rates. They seldom translate it into an age-, time-, or probability-based measure that would be easier to communicate and to relate to. Several articles have shown how to translate from a standardized mortality rat
