Selection bias can, and does, occur, even in randomized clinical trials. Medical books Selection Bias and Covariate Imbalances in Randomized Clinical Trials . 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 it does occur Medical books Selection Bias and Covariate Imbalances in Randomized Clinical Trials. Selection Bias and Covariate Imbalances in Randomized Clinical Trials by Berger, Vance W. [Hardcover]

Randomized Clinical Trials of Nonpharmacological Treatments (Chapman & Hall/CRC Biostatistics Series)

Nonpharmacological treatments include a wide variety of treatments such as surgery, technical procedures, implantable and non-implantable devices, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and behavioral interventions. Medical books Randomized Clinical Trials of Nonpharmacological Treatments . Unlike pharmacological treatments, these have no specific requirements for approval. Consequently, they can be widely proposed in clinical practice but may not have been adequately evaluated. This situation is an important barrier for the evaluation of the beneficial effects of these treatments and the conduct of clinical trials. Randomized Clinical Trials of Nonpharmacologic Treatments focuses on the methods for assessing nonpharmacological treatments, highlighting specific issues and trial design Medical books Randomized Clinical Trials Of Nonpharmacological Treatments Jones, Byron (serie. format hardback language english publication year 31 01 2012 series chapman hall crc biostatistics series subject medicine subject 2 medical nursing ancillary services title randomized clinical trials of nonpharmacological treatments author jones byron series edited by liu jen pei series edited by chow shein chung series edited by peace karl e series edited by boutron isabelle edited by ravaud philippe edited by moher david edited by publisher chapman hall publication date mar 25 2011 pages 300

Unlike pharmacological treatments, these have no specific requirements for approval. Consequently, they can be widely proposed in clinical practice but may not have been adequately evaluated. This situation is an important barrier for the evaluation of the beneficial effects of these treatments and the conduct of clinical trials. Randomized Clinical Trials of Nonpharmacologic Treatments focuses on the methods for assessing nonpharmacological treatments, highlighting specific issues and trial design.

Features:

• Chapters written by international experts in the field
• Highlights specific issues in assessing nonpharmacological treatments in trials including:

• how to overcome the difficulties of blinding patients, care providers, and outcome assessors
• the complexity of the intervention, the learning curve, and the clustering effect
• placebos that can be used
• issues of assessing harm and assessing the applicability of trials

• Presents a variety of trial designs for nonpharmacological treatments—including cluster randomized controlled trials, expertise-based trials, pragmatic trials, and nonrandomized trials.
• Provides several examples of the planning, conduct, analyses, and reporting of trials in different fields, including surgery, technical interventions, medical devices, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and behavioral interventions.

Providing practical examples that underline these issues and solutions, this book is one of the first to exclusively explore this topic, discussing various categories of treatments, from surgical procedures to psychotherapy.
