LUKE so my reading is this.
C patients gave INSIGNIFICANT results
D patiets gave INSIGNIFICANT results
Combining C&D to increase the population and reduce something called Standard Error - then the results just trickled over the line - being a difference of 7 in 100 +ve reactions over placebo - thats very marginal in my opinion and the results only appear when combining both data sets into one.
I am happy to be wrong and hope you get a winner here.
Thanks Blue
· In the IBS-C/D combined group (n=170), a statistically significant overall response rate of 24.1% compared to 17.5% for placebo (n=183) (p=0.0625), representing an RR of 1.38 (95% confidence interval: 0.913, 2.083);
· In IBS-C patients (n=76) a numerically superior but statistically non-significant overall response rates of 25% compared to 17.1% for placebo (n=82) (p=0.152), representing an RR of 1.46 (95% confidence interval: 0.791, 2.711); and
· In IBS-D patients (n=94) a numerically superior but statistically non-significant overall response rate of 23.4% compared to 17.8% for placebo (n=101) (p=0.216), representing an RR of 1.31 (95% confidence interval: 0.753, 2.290).
