This represents institutional hedging on mortality and hospitalization endpoints even as the pooled STEP-HFpEF analysis reported 40% reduction in HF hospitalization/mortality. The statement establishes symptom improvement as proven but maintains uncertainty on the harder clinical outcomes that determine cost-effectiveness and guideline strength. This divergence between trial-level evidence language and society-level guidance interpretation reveals how institutional medicine calibrates confidence thresholds differently than individual studies, potentially creating a lag between evidence generation and clinical recommendation strength.
