The 'hazard ratio of the interaction' is not well defined. Decide what hazard ratio you want to estimate, then ask summary to compute that, e.g. summary(modINT, XX_PR=c(1,3), XX_DISF=2) will estimate the 3:1 XX_PR hazard ratio at XX_DISF=2 Frank Harrell > > > # Example: > > modINT <-cph( Surv(T_BASE, T_FIN,STATUS)~ NYHA + ASINI + RFP + FE_REC + > XX_PR*XX_DISF) > > print(modINT) > > > coef se(coef) z p > NYHA=2 1.254 0.584 2.15 0.031767 > ASINI 0.665 0.409 1.62 0.104247 > RFP=2 0.725 0.704 1.03 0.302578 > FE_REC=2 -1.637 0.810 -2.02 0.043331 > XX_PR 2.189 0.649 3.37 0.000748 > XX_DISF 3.233 1.000 3.23 0.001222 > XX_PR * XX_DISF -2.852 1.280 -2.23 0.025852 > > summary(modINT) > > Effects Response : Surv(T_BASE, T_FIN, STATUS) > > Factor Low High Diff.
