Tsk, tsk. Not really fair. Just trying to win the argument by any means. a) It was stat sig for death (if I remember correctly)

tisk tisk clark,

I suggest you re-read the chf article and go back to your stats 101 class. Specifically this part of the chf article:

"the mortality rate is higher than observed (18.9% at 6.5 months) in some recent HF trials..."

This strongly suggests that 'improved mortality' was an aberration, as the control group demonstrated higher death rates than is common for a control, thus making the treated group look good.

Which is why I pointed out the number of pt's in this trial were too small to produce statistical relevance for mortality. A point anyone who conducts research understands clearly.
