    However, the duration of follow-up in most of the trials ranged from one to five years. Because events are generally evenly distributed across a trial, mean exposure time to study drugs before cancer diagnosis would be less than three years, which is considered to be too short to make any meaningful conclusions about the incidence of cancer in humans.3,54 Moreover, more than half of the trials used in that meta-analysis involved patients with severe comorbid diseases such as heart failure, chronic kidney disease and coronary artery disease; premature death by comorbidity before cancer development would have affected the results.
