Modelling clinical trial recruitment using poisson processes
Forecasting recruitment to clinical trials is often too simplistic and rarely statistical. This is unfortunate because modelling trial recruitment is simple using Poisson processes. The simplest case is to assume patients arrive randomly at a constant rate, using homogeneous Poisson processes to simulate sample recruitment curves. In contrast, time-varying complexity can be incorporated using n...
متن کاملSupporting the Clinical Trial Recruitment Process through the Grid
Patient recruitment for clinical trials and studies is a large-scale task. To test a given drug for example, it is desirable that as large a pool of suitable candidates is used as possible to support reliable assessment of often moderate effects of the drugs. To make such a recruitment campaign successful, it is necessary to efficiently target the petitioning of these potential subjects. Becaus...
متن کاملUsing Semantic Web Technologies for Clinical Trial Recruitment
Clinical trials are fundamental for medical science: they provide the evaluation for new treatments and new diagnostic approaches. One of the most difficult parts of clinical trials is the recruitment of patients: many trials fail due to lack of participants. Recruitment is done by matching the eligibility criteria of trials to patient conditions. This is usually done manually, but both the lar...
متن کاملOutreach to diversify clinical trial participation: A randomized recruitment study.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Racial and ethnic minorities remain underrepresented in clinical research, yet few recruitment strategies have been rigorously evaluated. METHODS We experimentally tested whether targeted recruitment letters acknowledging diabetes health disparities and health risks specific to recipients' racial/ethnic group improved two metrics of trial participation: willingness to be scree...
متن کاملCase Report: Electronic Screening Improves Efficiency in Clinical Trial Recruitment
This study evaluated the performance of an electronic screening (E-screening) method and used it to recruit patients for the NIH sponsored ACCORD trial. Out of the 193 E-screened patients, 125 met the age criterion ("age>or=40"). For all of these 125 patients, the performance of E-screening was compared with investigator review. E-screening achieved a negative predictive accuracy of 100% (95% C...
