I challenge any professional trial organisation to better the quality of delivery achieved by these medical students: 5266 patients at 101 hospitals in 13 countries. Data completed for 99.3% of all data fields with 30-day follow-up data completed for 5050 patients (98.2%).

Congrats all on producing this!

Thank you for your participation and contribution!
