The current practice of handling and reporting missing outcome data in eight widely-used PROMS in RCT publications: are we doing well?

چکیده
Purpose Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are designed to assess patients’ perceived health states or health-related quality of life. However, PROMs are susceptible to missing data, which can affect the validity of conclusions from randomised controlled trials (RCTs). This review aims to assess current practice in the handling, analysis and reporting of missing PROMs outcome data in RCTs in relation to contemporary methodology and guidance.

Background and Objectives: Missing data exist in many studies, e.g. in regression models, and they decrease the model's efficacy. Many methods have been suggested for handling incomplete data: they have generally focused on missing outcome values. But covariate values can also be missing.Materials and Methods: In this paper we study the missing imputation by the EM algorithm and auxiliary varia...
