- Title
Comment on: Laparoscopic versus Open Colorectal Surgery in the Acute Setting (LaCeS Trial): A Multicentre Randomized Feasibility Trial.
- Authors
Spence, Olivia; Perin, Giordano; Balasubramanian, Saba P
- Abstract
It appears that this "feasibility trial" is an external pilot and not an internal component of a phase III trial that is already in progress. The authors describe "blinding" and the lack of successful blinding for patients, was assessor level blinding attempted? Assessor level blinding is often possible and desirable and easier to achieve than patients/surgeons blinding.
