Can Matching-Adjusted Indirect Comparison Methods Mitigate Placebo Response Differences Among Patient Populations in Adjunctive Trials of Brivaracetam and Levetiracetam?
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Patients with focal seizures recruited into adjunctive antiepileptic drug (AED) trials have become more refractory and severe over time; concurrently, placebo responses have increased. To attempt to account for heterogeneity among trials, propensity-score weighted patient-level data were used to indirectly compare placebo responses reported in brivaracetam and levetirac...

در این پایان نامه به بررسی روش های آشکارسازی در سیستم های mc-cdma می پردازیم. با توجه به ماهیت آشکارسازی در این سیستم ها، تکنیک های آشکارسازی را می توان به دو دسته ی اصلی تقسیم نمود: آشکارسازی سیگنال ارسالی یک کاربر مطلوب بدون در نظر گرفتن اطلاعاتی در مورد سایر کاربران تداخل کننده که از آن ها به عنوان آشکارساز های تک کاربره یاد می شود و همچنین آشکارسازی سیگنال ارسالی همه ی کاربران فعال موجود در...
Response to Zhang et al.: Levetiracetam vs. brivaracetam for adults with refractory focal seizures: A meta-analysis and indirect comparison
To the Editor, unmeasured confounding further undermines the validity of comparison between these trials. 6. Some of the studies in the meta-analysis included doses that were found to be non-therapeutic in the pivotal studies and have not been approved for clinical use (brivaracetam 5, 20 and 25 mg/day; levetiracetam 500 mg/day). As such, a brivaracetam dose of 5 mg/day should not be compared t...
