The phrase "a composite of fatal" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It may be intended to describe something that combines elements leading to fatal outcomes, but the phrasing is awkward and unclear.
Example: "The report revealed a composite of fatal errors that led to the accident."
Alternatives: "a combination of deadly" or "a mixture of lethal".
Our primary end point was a composite of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular disease events.
The primary end point is a composite of fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular mortality.
The primary end points were a composite of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.
The primary end point was a composite of fatal or nonfatal ischemic heart disease, fatal or nonfatal stroke, and peripheral arterial disease.
The primary endpoint was a composite of fatal or disabling stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic), intracranial hemorrhage or clinically significant systemic embolism.
Incident CVD was defined as a composite of fatal or non-fatal CVD, including hospitalisation from CHD and stroke; or death from CHD, stroke or peripheral vascular disease.
Participants were classified as 'frail' if they had at least three out of five of the frailty components; as 'pre-frail' if they had 1 2; and as 'non-frail' if they had none of these components. 1 Validated CVD outcomes (non-fatal CHD, non-fatal stroke, and a composite of non-fatal CVD cases including both groups) were assessed over the follow-up period (1997 1999 to 2007 2009).
The primary end points comprised a composite of all fatal or nonfatal cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.
The primary outcome of the ACCORD study was a composite of non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes.
The previous meta-analysis summated the separate reports for various cardiovascular outcomes (for example, myocardial infarction, stroke, sudden cardiac death) to derive a figure for a composite of non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, or death from cardiovascular cause resulting in the potential for some participants to contribute to the outcome more than once.
Analyses for the primary outcome of interest, MACE (defined as a composite of non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal ischemic stroke, and cardiovascular death resulting from myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke), and all-cause mortality were performed using the Mantel-Haenszel fixed effects model.
