Commentary

Commentary articles should focus on an important clinical issue or controversy. Though by their nature they will contain opinion, they should still be evidence-based and referenced. Please discuss potential topics with CCJM editors prior to submission. Commentaries should be no longer than 2,000 words (not counting references, tables, and figures) with a maximum of 20 references.

When discussing results of clinical studies, the absolute risk value and number needed to treat should be included whenever possible, rather than the relative risk and hazard ratio.
