Safety and Effectiveness Results
Primary Endpoints
The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death, stroke, and AI ≥ moderate at 1 year. The
weighted proportion difference of the primary endpoint was -9.2% (90% CI: [-12.4%, -6.0%]) using the
average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) method
[2]
, as shown in Table 18 and Figure 19. Since the
upper limit of the CI was < 7.5%, non–inferiority was met.
