Show abstract

The STAREE randomised controlled trial of 9971 community-dwelling older adults without cardiovascular disease, diabetes or dementia is designed to compare daily 40mg atorvastatin to placebo. We present a statistical analysis plan to pre-specify the analytical approaches that will be taken when reporting the main findings from the trial. The plan describes the analysis approach for the co-primary endpoints: (a) death, dementia, and persistent physical disability; (b) major cardiovascular events; and all secondary endpoints. A pre-specified economic evaluation is also included as part of this plan.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
