What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Therapeutic Efficacy 1
The clinical cure rates of clotrimazole and fluconazol: Clinical cure was defined as the resolution of symptoms present at baseline with a total severity score of ≤2. Improvement was defined as considerable reduction in the severity of baseline signs and symptoms with a decrease in the total score by ≥50%.Patients not clinically cured or showing improvement were considered clinical failures.
Measured: 7-14 days after treatment (=visit 2)
Therapeutic Efficacy 2
The clinical cure rates of clotrimazole and fluconazol
Measured: at days 30-35 follow-up
Therapeutic Efficacy 3
Mycological cure of clotrimazole group and fluconazole group
Measured: at days 7-14 follow-up
Therapeutic Efficacy 4
Mycological cure of clotrimazole group and fluconazole group: Mycological cure or failure was referred to as Candida negative or positive,respectively, on Candida culture at follow-up visits.
Measured: at days30-35 follow-up
