Would not go quite that far, that the 62 should be used to evaluate the results. Yes I would use the 62 to speculate about the mortality rate for meningococcal sepsis. I have asked for clarification about what was said about the 62. If they were in the hospital and I would imagine that that is where the enrollment process starts, then it seems likely they were getting the standard of care normally provided and it they then died they become part of the group attended by the hospital of >8 and can probably be used to determine a rough mortality rate.

but indirectly once I have done this and don't come up with some low mortality rate, I am using what I consider to be a more logical rate to formulate my opinion on effectiveness.

Sorry for all the above stuff. I agree, but just would have worded it differently. But I agree with you because you agreed with me. <g>
