Desirability of Outcome Ranking Probabilities for 9 Randomized Controlled Trials for Complicated Intra-abdominal Infections

Trial DOOR Probability, %a (95% CI)b P Value
A 50.3 (46.9–53.7) .836
B 48.3 (44.5–52.2) .386
C 47.7 (44.1–51.2) .196
D 48.3 (45.3–51.4) .279
E 48.2 (44.5–51.9) .337
F 49.7 (44.4–54.9) .897
G 47.4 (43.2–51.7) .234
H 50.0 (44.9–55.2) .990
I 48.1 (44.0–52.1) .349

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; DOOR, desirability of outcome ranking.

The DOOR probability represents the probability of more a desirable result with study treatment relative to the comparator. A DOOR probability of 50% indicates no treatment difference; <50% favors the comparator; >50% favors study treatment.

A CI containing 50% indicates no statistically significant difference in the distribution of DOOR between the study treatment and the comparator arms.
