Table 2 Summary of neurological findings and feeding difficulties observed in > 10% of episodes in any treatment group at baseline

From: Effect of carglumic acid with or without ammonia scavengers on hyperammonaemia in acute decompensation episodes of organic acidurias

  1. Full analysis set. N (%) based on the number of episodes
  2. aFor one patient, neurological status at baseline was erroneously marked as normal despite the patient having an ongoing history of blindness recorded at screening. The patient’s neurological status at endpoint correctly identified visual impairment. NH3 data was censored at extracorporeal detoxification initiation
  3. NH 3 ammonia
