评估真实世界证据模拟研究对随机试验的可重复性AI 解读

Background: The standard regulatory approach to assess replication success is the two-trials rule, requiring both the original and the replication study to be significant with effect estimates in the same direction. The sceptical p-value was recently presented as an alternative method for the statistical assessment of the replicability of study results. Methods: We review the statistical properties of the sceptical p-value and compare those to the two-trials rule. We extend…

随机对照试验中死亡截断结局：幸存者平均因果效应的模拟研究AI 解读

Continuous outcome measurements truncated by death present a challenge for the estimation of unbiased treatment effects in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). One way to deal with such situations is to estimate the survivor average causal effect (SACE), but this requires making non-testable assumptions. Motivated by an ongoing RCT in very preterm infants with intraventricular hemorrhage, we performed a simulation study to compare a SACE estimator with complete case analysis…
