For each analysis, we reported the posterior mean, 2nd, 50th, and 98th percentiles of the treatment effects (hazard ratios) and 96% credible interval (CrI). We also reported the estimated posterior probabilities for different magnitudes of treatment effects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong> \u2014 Regardless of priors, Bayesian analysis yielded consistent posterior means and a 96% CrI. The posterior distribution of the hazard ratio was concentrated between 0.95 and 1.05, indicating there was probably no substantial difference between the 2 trial arms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Limitations<\/strong> \u2014 The interpretation of Bayesian methods highly depends on the prior distributions. In our study, the prior distributions were determined by 2 experts without a formal elicitation method. A formal elicitation is encouraged in future trials to better quantify experts\u2019 uncertainty about the treatment effect. In addition, we used cause-specific parametric Weibull methods to model survival time, as semi-parametric methods were not available in the standard Bayesian statistical software package at the time of analysis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusions<\/strong> \u2014 Our Bayesian analysis indicated that implementing personalized cooler dialysate as a center-wide policy is unlikely to yield meaningful benefits in reducing the composite outcome of cardiovascular-related deaths and hospitalizations, regardless of prior expectations, whether optimistic or skeptical, about the intervention\u2019s effectiveness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Background \u2014 MyTEMP was a cluster-randomized trial to assess the effect of using a personalized cooler dialysate compared to standard temperature dialysate for potential cardiovascular benefits in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis in Ontario, Canada.
