CD68+ Cell Count in Biopsied Material (submucosa): Poisson regression (ratio). Clarification: Measure type described as "Number" refers to "Risk of each treatment group". It is not possible to select "risk" from this template so "number" was selected instead. This issue applies to similar variables reporting poisson regression.

Each outcome the trial posted results for, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

TypeOutcomeTime framePopulationUnitsMeasured as

The CD8+ cells count results in submucosa for the primary outcome were available for 117 patients at V2 (41 missing) and 114 patients at V6 (44 missing). The reason for missing samples was that the sample amount did not reach the minimal area requested per study protocol. See section 11.4.1 in CSR
