- The study aimed to track the outcomes of patients with brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) who were managed conservatively, revealing key statistics on related morbidity and mortality over a 10-year period.
- Out of 1010 patients initially recruited, 434 were analyzed, with a majority having unruptured low-grade AVMs, demonstrating a 5% occurrence of serious outcomes and a higher risk in those with a history of rupture or older age.
- During the follow-up of approximately 3.2 years, 8% of patients experienced major intracranial hemorrhages, highlighting the ongoing risks associated with conservative management of AVMs.
Background: The results of a clinical trial are given in terms of primary and secondary outcomes that are obtained for each patient. Just as an instrument should provide the same result when the same object is measured repeatedly, the agreement of the adjudication of a clinical outcome between various raters is fundamental to interpret study results. The reliability of the adjudication of study endpoints determined by examination of the electronic case report forms of a pragmatic trial has not previously been tested.
