Challenges and Solutions to Pre- and Post-Randomization Subgroup Analyses
Subgroup analyses are commonly performed in the clinical trial setting with the purpose of illustrating that the treatment effect was consistent across different patient characteristics or identifying characteristics that should be targeted for treatment. There are statistical issues involved in performing subgroup analyses, however. These have been given considerable attention in the literatur...
متن کاملPost hoc subgroup analysis.
I am surprised by the published conclusions of Hung et al 1 in a recent issue of CHEST (August 2013). The authors’ stated meth ods are not adequate to support their conclusion that hyperimmune IV immunoglobulin (H-IVIG) ben efi ts mortality if given within 5 days to patients with severe 2009 infl uenza A(H1N1) infection. The primary outcome analysis of 34 patients presented in Table 1 of the st...
متن کاملPre-specified vs. post-hoc subgroup analyses: are we wiser before or after a trial has been performed?
Pivotal trials on antithrombotic regimens in coronary artery disease have been performed with huge patient cohorts; in CURE, 12 562 patients were randomized, TRITON-TIMI 38 included 13 608 patients, and PLATO 18 624 patients. Such databases provide an extraordinary opportunity to study a treatment effect in several subgroups of patients which—although subsets—still consist of thousands of patie...
متن کاملAd hoc subgroup proofs for RFID
In many RFID applications it is necessary to be able to identify the presence of (all) the tags of a predefined group, e.g., to establish that all components of a kit are present. If the interrogation is offline, by RFID readers that do not share any secret keys with the tags, then a record of simultaneous presence, or a grouping proof, has to be generated by the tags themselves. This type of p...
متن کاملLatent Class Mixture Models of Treatment Effect Heterogeneity for Post Hoc Subgroup Analysis
In randomized experiments, it is often of interest to characterize treatment effect heterogeneity in terms of baseline covariates. Usually, the aim is to identify subpopulations likely to have particularly positive or negative (or neutral) responses to treatment. The process of searching for such subpopulations after the completion of an experiment (without pre-specifying which subpopulations w...
