Ok, everyone, I'm curious. Those of you who attend academic or corporate conferences, symposiums, or expos that involve international people flying in to attend or present I have to ask:

How many of your attendees and speakers from outside the US...

This sets the majority up for failure as it's #misleading.
In numbers not %, of the 1,740 #participants, 255 (rounded) went into #remission. Whilst that's useful it needs to be presented #honestly because 1,485 didn't go into remission. Telling #patients it worked for a third of people when it didn't (795 gave up) may lead to a feeling a #failure which is really unhelpful in so many ways. How #data is presented matters.
