    According to graph, the survival curve of intervention group is above the survival curve of control group, which means, the higher rate of myocardial infarct in the control group. Thus, the intervention group has the better survival than control group.The hazard ratio is 0.57 (95% CI 0.35 to 0.87) Intervention the term intervention[T.Intervention] to the left of the results indicates that intervention=1 is the numerator of the hazard ratio. In this case, the hazard ratio is 0.57 which indicates the rate of death and/or myocardial infarct diagnosis in the intervention group is about half of that in the control group. The p-value is 0.502 and it is higher than 0.05. Therefore, it indicates that there is no statistically significant difference in the hazard ratio…
