"Because neurological or organ dysfunction had not been prospectively defined and collected as endpoints on the case-report forms, information on their occurrence was captured from the adverse-events report forms."

" However, the use of adverse-event data caused problems since it combined a myriad of inconsequential events with major morbidities such as severe amputation. The results of this composite endpoint analysis are included for completeness, but are recognised as methodologically FLAWED and were not included in the prospective trial design NOR AGREED to by the clinical investigators."

" Additionally, an analysis of the composite endpoint, including only endpoints that were prospectively defined in the protocol individually (death, amputations, and POPC), and which are the most clinically meaningful, is presented for comparison."

I read the full article. The not prospectively design
" flawed composite endpoint" was not agreed to by clinical investigators, and it showed one of the worst "p" (p = 0.74) a BIG IRONY cause the prospectively design endpoints when "composite analysis" was done showed a favorable trend
p = 0.07, still not the magic 0.05 or less.
