Question 6 clarification

Question 6 clarification

Hello, 

I am a little confused by the question stem of Q6

"RESULTS:
At 60 days, 44 of 124 patients (35%) in the ECMO group and 57 of 125 (46%) in the control group had died. Crossover to ECMO occurred a mean (±SD) of 6.5±9.7 days after randomization in 35 patients (28%) in the control group, with 20 of these patients (57%) dying."

Have the 124 in treatment group and 125 in control group taken consideration of 35 crossover? If so, the original assignment in treatment and control group would be 89 (124-35) and 160 (125+35), respectively?

Can someone please clarify? Thanks.


Best,

Pingyang

Hi, Pingyang --

I think it is safe to assume that the N=124 and N=125 are the numbers of subjects originally assigned to the two groups.
