Ann: Mesoblast Partners with BMT CTN on Adult SR-aGVHD Trial, page-131

Hi @Wilba32,

not sure if you're attending the AGM. If not, I was minded to put a motion of appreciation for the tealady, from the floor so to speak.

Yes, regarding the trolls...Here's what the 2003 investigators in their original attempted review of randomised parachute trials had to say in their Conclusions:

" As with many interventions intended to prevent ill health, the effectiveness of parachutes has not been subjected to rigorous evaluation by using randomised controlled trials. Advocates of evidence based medicine have criticised the adoption of interventions evaluated by using only observational data.

We think that everyone might benefit if the most radical protagonists of evidence based medicine organised and participated in a double blind, randomised, placebo controlled, crossover trial of the parachute. "

I can only agree with that sentiment, and I must admit to especially liking the 'crossover' suggested trial features.

Cheers
and GLTAH
