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%).
Delighted our medical students completed this multicentre international trial. Researchers for the future:
