Interesting post by SLGonzalez.

Why Predicted Risk of Mortality model may be in use in PIII Meningo, which is why total mortality is
key to the test of statistical significance in Xoma's relatively small N study.

However, I am not in any way questioning looking at total mortality or its' absence in the both arms of trial. My question has been, and remains why include mortality in the treatment arm in the level required to end the trial? If mortality in the treatment arm had not been counted towards the total would the total required have remained the same, or been lower? If the total would have remained the same, it is obvious it made sense for XOMA's benefit to include them.
