1. Database-specific risk of ventricular arrhythmia associated with current use of azithromycin compared with current use of amoxicillin (2-stage random-effects model).
Database-specific risk of ventricular arrhythmia associated with current use of azithromycin compared with current use of amoxicillin (2-stage random-effects model). Values greater than 1.0 indicate an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia with use of azithromycin (values plotted on logarithmic scale). Cochran Q = 0.08; p = 0.1; I2 = 51%. CI = confidence interval, OR = odds ratio. *Databases with fewer than 3 exposed cases were not included in the model.
