> The trial was terminated last week when an independent committee overseeing the research discovered that more babies than expected were being born with lung problems. I heard one of the researchers on the radio. What I understood from it is they decided to abort the trial before the mortality rate became statistically relevant. However they had indicators there was a chance it would. I feel like the article is a bit sensational. Could anyone with more knowledge then me shed some light on this?
