Limitations and caveats: As in all studies based on secondary use of data, the risk of missing data shall be taken into consideration. Stratified analyses include no formal testing for statistical significance since such analyses have a descriptive exploratory purpose. In fact, no a priori hypotheses were defined. Patient's duration of observation was different for each subject without specific censoring rules by protocol, and there were no limitations on time periods for starting treatments by protocol.
