Another weird paragraph from the discussion and following stuff from NICE - NICE do not ban treatments the make recommendations of things that...
This feels like a strange claim to me - it is a long time since I read to lancet article but I don't remember them making any measurements of PEM...
Skimming the paper assessment times were anything from 12 weeks to 18 months! Doesn't than make a comparison dodgy? ALso very different...
My first question to them would be if they are looking for deteriation then why choose a scale that they use as a secondary outcome in studies...
And its worth pointing out that the step test secondary outcome from PACE has not been published
I think you did that is how I read it. Are they or is this an infinitely long process! The issues with the review have been obvious for many...
