The thing that I was struck by is the commenatr on the clinical diagnosis." The clinical diagnosis was made by an independent, centralised clinical adjudication committee using all available clinical data, including radiology and microbiology. In the case of 429 patients (33% of the tota l) agreement on the clinical diagnosis was not reached between two adjudicators and a third adjudicator was required to reach a majority consensus". may actually be more accurate than the doctors, but the doctor's can't get it right!

Yes this is all true, but this just points to a terrible trial design. Given this level of disagreement they should have had a three doctors reviewing all cases.
