Abstract
In randomized clinical trials, the magnitude of the treatment effect is often reported using the hazard ratio (HR) even when the proportional hazards (PH) assumption is not met. Conducting numerical studies, this commentary illustrates how/why the HR estimate via the standard Cox's procedure is difficult to interpret even as an “average” treatment effect for non‐PH cases.Keywords: Clinical trials; Cox proportional hazards model; Survival data analysis; Time‐to‐event outcomes
