Just like this- 100 "cents" = $1.00 or like this- Percent = Decimal 100.0% = 1.00 50.0% = 0.50 20.0% = 0.20 2.0% = 0.02 0.2% = 0.002 For any typical, normal patient's life, the absolute (free from restriction) risk of stroke is less than 0.2% When the focus of a study, the rate of stroke diagnosis in a given time frame, is specifically defined, that is Neg vs Poz, then the values will show that one group, the Poz, differs more than the other group, the Neg.

I found this artical a little bit scary. Just in the last 6 months I have developed these episodes that have sent me to my clinic doc. After a meeting he thinks its likely cardio related. In my description of whats been happening to me I described it as though I was having mini strokes. Something to bring up at my next appointment I think.

Just curious, is that .2% liklihood on a yearly, monthly, weekly, daily or hourly basis? And does ".2 percent"=1/5 of 1%, or 20%?
