Abbreviation: DOOR, desirability of outcome ranking.

Each participant was assigned a DOOR between 0 and 8 by counting the number of events a participant experienced within each component category (see Table 1). Study participants classified as having the outcomes of “indeterminate” or “clinical failure” were counted as having 1 event in the “absence of clinical response” category. Up to 2 events were counted in the categories of infectious complications, surgical/percutaneous procedures, and serious adverse events. These events comprised the final DOOR.

Absence of clinical response: 0 or 1 event; infectious complications: 0, 1, or 2 events; surgical percutaneous interventions: 0, 1, or 2 events; serious adverse events: 0, 1, or 2 events.
