The CMR Guide trial aims to determine whether the insertion of an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator based on the presence of ventricular scar/fibrosis will reduce sudden cardiac death or syncopal ventricular arrhythmia in patients with mild moderate left ventricle systolic dysfunction compared to standard care. This statistical analysis plan pre-specifies the method of analysis for every outcome and key variables collected in the trial. The primary outcome is a composite of sudden cardiac death or haemodynamically significant ventricular arrhythmia defined as ventricular arrhythmia producing syncope (loss of consciousness) or associated with hypotension (SBP<90mmHg) except directly associated with device implant procedure. The main analysis will consist of a Fine and Gray survival model of time to first occurrence of a primary outcome treating deaths other than sudden cardiac deaths as competing risks. The analysis plan also includes planned sensitivity analyses including covariate adjustments and subgroup analyses.

"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.
