ITP survival analysis:   (R/S)-1,3-butanediol

Intervention:   (R/S)-1,3-butanediol     ketogenic dietary supplement, anti-aging
Trial code: BD Dose: 100,000 ppm initiated at age: 6 mo Sex: both Cohort: C2017
This compound had a significant effect on survival:   females p = 0.0395

Results are based on the use of pooled factor(s) that is/are stratified within the survival analysis model.
