The Trust said it would therefore like to see fewer "non-news" features in news programmes, particularly when there was moreimportant news in the agenda to cover.
The news release also does not say how many different subsets of patients were analyzed, which is particularlyimportant because the more subsets you analyze, the more you are likely to have a positive result merely by chance.
When treating a particularly vulnerable population, informed consent becomes moreimportant, and if data are being collected, there are fairly stringent obligations on the part of the researcher.
