  Limitations and Caveats
  Hide Limitations and Caveats

Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
Tio patients had significantly longer drug exposure,thus had increased chance of AE.Simple frequencies are biased for AE comparisons;exposure-adjusted incidence rates (IR) should be used. IR for serious AE(>1% patients) are in Outcome Measures.
