>That the first step that Higano did in the Cox analysis of 9902A she presented at ECCO 2005 was to take the exact same five stat sig final covariates from 9901's Cox regression and apply them to 9902A. There is no question about this. It is the unequivocal truth. <
Yes, that I completely agree with. She took the 5 from 01, presented their individual p values in 02a, and then applied the 5 to 02a.
>However, I am taking DNDN mgmt at their word when they said that they also performed the Cox regression for 9902A by beginning with the same 20 prognostic factors as 9901, then running through the same steps in the exercise as they did in 9901, and then arriving finally with a stat sig p value.<
Where did management say this? I'd like to go back to the transcript and understand it.
