What, in research outcome terms, is the importance of the doctor who performed the neurological evaluations being blinded to treatment allocation?
What will be an ideal response?
Suggested response: The research was open-label meaning that the interventions of a targeted temperature of 36°C or therapeutic hypothermia could not be blinded or hidden from those implementing the therapy, thus increasing the risk of bias. Blinding the doctor who performed the neurological evaluations was a way of reducing bias and strengthening the research outcomes.
