This is wonderful! So does she want to be a cardiologist?
Do you feel primary outcome assessment at 6months or 3months would have any effect on the final results?
For eg one sec outcome-Radiographic vasospasm was lower in the liberal group (risk ratio, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.63 to 0.95) which is significant.
