Steps need to be taken in order to ensure that this does not compromise the integrity of clinical trials; hence “Selection Bias and Covariate Imbalances in Randomized Clinical Trials” offers a comprehensive treatment of the subject and the methodology involved. This book:
- Provides an overview of the hierarchy of study designs, and justifies the position of randomised trials at the top of this hierarchy.
- Discusses the strengths and defects of randomisation, and provides real evidence to justify concern regarding its defects.
- Outlays the damaging consequences that selection bias causes when ... Read more
- Considers courses of action that can be taken to manage/ contain the problem.
- Presents methods that can be used to detect selection bias in randomised trials, and methods to correct for selection bias.
- Concludes by providing a comprehensive plan for managing baseline imbalances and selection bias in randomised trials, and proposing open problems for future research.
