Journal club: STEP-HFpEF and symptom endpoints — setting out what I have, and where I think it stops being reliable.

The question about step-hfpef and symptom endpoints that I actually want answered is the second one below. The first is context and I have kept it short.

Both are stated with units, and I have said what I already checked so that nobody repeats it.

This follows post #3 rather than contradicting it.

On step-hfpef and symptom endpoints the community has more anecdote than the confidence in this thread implies, and I include my own contribution in that.

m.yilmaz, post #8: The baseline characteristics table is the single most useful page for the questions that get asked here, because it tells you who the result applies to. Noting that the question and the thing people usually mean by it are different. Go to post

Coming back to post #10, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

Adding what did not work for me on step-hfpef and symptom endpoints, since the failures never get written up and they are half the useful information.

Reading order that works for these sessions: registry entry, methods, baseline table, primary result, then abstract last. Reading the abstract first anchors everything that follows.

It took me longer than it should have to see that.

Quietly grateful for the plain phrasing. Not every thread gets that.
