From a comment in the triple formula study(below the summary)-
“ there is a typo in the current version of the manuscript: the IQR is 40-67 and not 40-60. We will revise this and upload a version 2 as soon as possible.”- Received: 6 July 2020, From Commenter: Martin Scholz
It is not up as far as I can see(no version 2 written at the top)
The untreated group was “unhealthier” because they were not being treated.
We can’t say that age in itself is an influencing factor, it is the other conditions a patient has, at any age that is more likely to be an influencing factor,
but in the end, it is all up to Hashem as He Alone is in control.
Statistics are just a cover.
So the treatment was effective.
