| Methods |
RCT comparing reviparin versus placebo in patients with acute myocardial infarction presenting with ST‐segment elevation. |
| Data |
15,570 patients were randomised (7780/7790, respectively in each treatment group). |
| Comparisons |
Onsite assessment (local investigator blinded) versus assessment by an AC blinded to allocated treatment. |
| Outcomes |
The outcome selected was myocardial infarction or stroke at 7 days or death. |
| Notes |
The study was identified because it was included in a pooled analysis of 10 RCTs (Pogue 2009). Data related to the number of events in each treatment group resulting from onsite‐assessor and AC assessments were extracted from this meta‐analysis on the primary outcomes of the included studies. |
