Accounting for Covariates Observed Post Randomization for Discrete and Continuous Repeated Measures Data
离散与连续重复测量中随机化后协变量的处理
SUMMARY Adjusting for covariates observed post randomization is a difficult issue in randomized clinical trials. One approach is to enter these covariates as time-dependent covariates in a general linear model. However, this approach fails to account for interactions between the primary end point and confounding variable as they evolve over time. In this paper, we adopt the view that, since the confounder is observed following randomization, it should be treated as an…
