Bayesian analysis of the causal reference-based model for missing data in clinical trials, accommodating partially observed post-intercurrent event data
纳入部分伴发事件后观测的临床试验因果参考模型贝叶斯分析
When treatment policy estimands are of interest, clinical trials often attempt to collect patient data after intercurrent events (ICEs), although such data are often limited. Retrieved dropout imputation methods, which use pre-ICE and available post-ICE data to impute missing post-ICE outcomes, are commonly applied but often yield treatment effect estimates with large standard errors (SEs) and may encounter convergence issues when post-ICE data are sparse. Reference-based…
