79/260 + 30% And as you state and I have said this would be low because of the forced distribution of one half of the 34 trial deaths into the treatment arm. Remember that if BPI gave the same results as the the placebo we would not be having this discussion. If worse, XOMA could market the placebo.

Bottom line we have a lot of evidence that the disease kills even those in hospitals and that for whatever reason those in the trial died at a much lower rate, than indicated by many other references or than the 62 deaths themselves indicate.

I was personally using the 62 to attempt to estimate mortality without bpi, not efficacy with bpi. I make no claim to be smarter than thou
