I have read carefully this paper (Interact II) for educational reasons.

I regret to tell that patients are not equals at baseline. According to their  data, variable age is statistically lower in the intensive therapy group than in the other. I reproduced analysis below

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two-Sample T-Test and CI (Minitab)

 Sample     N  Mean  StDev  SE Mean

1            1399  63,0   13,1     0,35

2            1430  64,1   12,6     0,33

Difference = mu (1) - mu (2)

Estimate for difference:  -1,100

95% CI for difference:  (-2,048; -0,152)

T-Test of difference = 0 (vs not =): T-Value = -2,28  P-Value = 0,023  DF = 2816

I write this short lines only to warn about this mistake in the text

Can anyone replicate the analysis?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards
