Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- \tProportion of participants with VAS≥30 mm (0-100mm)","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Measured using electronic Visual Analog Scale (VAS) 0-100 mm; endpoint is proportion of participants with VAS score ≥30 mm."}

AUC measures: area under VAS curve for specified minute intervals (0-1, 1-2, 2-3 min). AUC VAS≥30: AUC for periods where VAS≥30. Curve shape: descriptive analysis of VAS curve (number of peaks). RASS: Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale used to assess sedation."}
