I'm conducting a meta-analysis, and when reporting an event-to-time outcome, some included studies reported it as a hazard ratio and others as an event and total only. I need to calculate the hazard ratio.
This is a difficult topic. You can look for this reference in Stackexchange forum: https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/130237/convert-hazards-ratio-to-odds-ratio
which is also referring to other interesting references.
When the event is very low occurence event RR, HR and OR tends to be the same. Otherwise it would be a challenge...
