Methods | RCT comparing prasugrel versus clopidogrel in patients with acute coronary syndromes. | |
Data | 13,608 patients were randomised (6813/6795, respectively in each treatment group). | |
Comparisons | Onsite assessment (blinded local investigator) versus assessment by an AC blinded to allocated treatment. | |
Outcomes | The outcome selected was myocardial infarction. The study's primary outcome was death from cardiovascular causes, non fatal myocardial infarction, or non fatal stroke. | |
Notes | The study was identified because it was included in a review (Serebruany 2012). Data related to the number of events in each treatment group resulting from onsite‐assessor and AC assessments were extracted from this review. | |
