scolari si suddividano equamente tra i due gruppi<br />

selezionati dalla randomizzazione;<br />

5. la valutazione della mortalità specifica cardiovascolare<br />

viene pur sempre esplorata come endpo<strong>in</strong>t<br />

secondario; <strong>in</strong> questo caso le discrepanze con l’endpo<strong>in</strong>t<br />

primario vanno valutate con prudenza.<br />

Il problema comunque è comune ad altre sperimentazioni<br />

ed è oggetto di discussioni.<br />
