A rigorous review of ordinal endpoint analyses, showing every approach—utility weighting, proportional odds, dichotomization, or non-parametric—inevitably assigns relative weights to outcome states. Berry Consultants’ mathematical demonstration reveals how proportional odds analysis embeds prevalence-based weights, underscoring the need for transparency and clinical input in trial design.
