Group analysis versus individual response: The inferential limits of randomized controlled trials
2010, Contemporary Clinical TrialsCitation Excerpt :He also shows how the summary results of an RCT might not even apply to most of the patients in the trial. Rosser [2] decries the fact that public health agencies and insurance companies rely on population level data to justify monetary incentives encouraging physicians to provide preventive treatment to all patients, regardless of “the patient's personal context and values” (p. 663) [2]. Van Weel and Knottnerus [3] discuss the problem of complex treatment packages that are not typically tested in standard RCTs.
Effect of Clinical Trials on Survival After Heart Transplantation
2008, Transplantation ProceedingsCitation Excerpt :The NCT group had a lower survival rate (80.37% vs 87.04%), a difference that was close to a significant value (P = 0.13, log-rank test) (Fig 1). The results obtained in a CT can be strictly generalized only to a population identical to that of the CT.2 Assuming this principle, patients included in CTs and those excluded from them should have similar baseline characteristics the outcome should be influenced only by the intervention performed in each trial. Results of our study show that patients included in CTs clearly have more favorable baseline conditions than those not included in CTs.
