Does this sentence make sense?
" Outcomes of the study included operative time, fluid content in the suction balloon (drainage volume) during the first 24 hours after surgery, postoperative pain, and incidence of complications"
Its about a study made to compare two different surgical methods, and in the one method there was less drainage volume, the time of the operation is shorter less pain etc....
But can you have the sentence like it is written above? Thats how they published it at least..
(english is my third language, im not that good)
Thx in advance for answering

Hi Anon,
If you happen to be asking about the structure of the sentence, I think it's hard to read because the second item in the list of four outcomes is so much longer and more complicated than the others. But it's legal. It takes a bit of work to keep track of the phrases, but that's what parentheses are about.

Hi again,
I think in this context what they're calling "outcomes" are not shown in the excerpt. Perhaps if we saw the whole study we'd find that the outcomes are the results of the statistical comparisons of the preexisting data.

P.S. Beat me again! Gotta learn to type faster!
