A brief review and suggestion for contextualising serious, but rare, risk, and the example of cox-2 selective and non-selective NSAIDs R Andrew Moore , Sheena Derry , Henry J McQuay and John Paling Arthritis Research & Therapy 2008, 10:R20 (Abstract and full text)
We present a method of communicating information about serious risks using the common outcome of death, using pictures, numbers, and words, and contextualising the information. Using this method for gastrointestinal and cardiovascular harm with NSAIDs and coxibs shows differences between individual NSAIDs and coxibs.
