Interventions Risk Report
This report screens all interventions and calculates and generates forest plots of risk differences, relative risks or odds ratios. It reports each subject only once per intervention regardless of how many incidents of the intervention occur.
Report Results Description
Running this report for Nicardipine using default settings generates the report shown below.
Refer to the Adverse Events Risk Report , keeping in mind the following important differences in contrast with the example:
| • | Output (including section names) reflects intervention incidence corresponding to selected domain (e.g. Concomitant Medication, Substance Use), rather than adverse events, incidence |
| • | Term Level is allowed to equal Category (such as CMCAT or SUCAT, depending on the domain) |
Refer to Confidence Intervals for information on how JMP Clinical calculates and uses confidence intervals.
Options
Data
Use the widgets on this panel to customize your analysis.
Domain
Use the Domain option to specify whether to plot the distribution of either exposure (EX) or concomitant medications (CM) events.
Term Level
Term Levels are determined by the coding dictionary for the Event domain of interest, typically these levels follow the MedDRA dictionary. Use this widget to specify how each adverse event is named and the level at which the event is considered. For example, selecting Reported Term reports the event specified by the actual event term as reported in either the EX or CM domains. Refer to Term Level for more information.
Intervention Type
Analysis can consider all events or only those that emerge at specific times before, during, or after the trial period. For example, selecting On treatment interventions as the Intervention Type includes only those interventions that occur on or after the first dose of study drug and at or before the last dose of drug (+ the offset for end of dosing).
Ignore available treatment emergent flags
If you choose to Ignore available treatment emergent flags, the analysis includes all adverse events that occur on or after day 1 of the study.
Risk Measurement
You have the option of calculating either the Risk Difference, the Relative Risk, or the Odds Ratio as the Risk Measurement.
Display Risk Difference as:
Use this widget to specify the difference between the risk of an event in the treatment arm and the control arm as either a percentage or a proportion of the total subject population. This widget appears only when you select Risk Difference as the Risk Measurement.
Sort Risk Report plot and tables by:
Use the Sort Risk Report plot and tables by: widget to specify how the rows in the Risk Report plot and tables are to be sorted.
Include volcano plot
Check the Include volcano plot box to include a volcano plot in the report.
Alpha
The Alpha option is used to specify the significance level by which to judge the validity of the missing findings data generated by this report. The meaning of alpha depends on the adjustment method that you select. Alpha can be set to any number between 0 and 1, but is most typically set at 0.001, 0.01, 0.05, or 0.10. The higher the alpha, the higher the error rate but also higher the power for detecting significant differences. You will need to decide on the best trade-off for your experiment. This option is surfaced only when the Include volcano plot box is checked.

Methodology
Patients are assessed for each intervention they experience and Percent Occurrence and Risk Difference are calculated for each intervention by treatment group. Percent Occurrence is simply the percentage of patients in a treatment group who experience the intervention at least once during the trial period. Risk difference is calculated by subtracting the number of patients exhibiting the intervention in the control group from the number of patients exhibiting the intervention in the treatment arm. Relative Risk or Odds Ratios may also be calculated.
