Hi Ember - i dont know if we are talking at cross purposes - but im getting muddled as to what we are discussing. I dont think we are really disagreeing. Sorry - finding it hard to keep up today (re your other thread too)

Dai - i agree that using more severely ill patients in trials is a good idea - especially when the very severe are so often left out of all trials - onviously there are issues with this - travel energy expended to take part etc, which is why tirals may end up with less severe or milder patients.

All the best, Justy.
