Missing data in randomized controlled trials of rheumatoid arthritis with radiographic outcomes: a simulation study.
OBJECTIVE To assess the impact, in terms of statistical power and bias of treatment effect, of approaches to dealing with missing data in randomized controlled trials of rheumatoid arthritis with radiographic outcomes. METHODS We performed a simulation study. The missingness mechanisms we investigated copied the process of withdrawal from trials due to lack of efficacy. We compared 3 methods ...
متن کاملUsing linear increment models for the imputation of missing composite outcomes in randomized trials
In randomized trials, it is typical that a number of outcome variables are collected at each follow-up time. Sometimes, a composite outcome may be of scientific interest. A composite outcome is composed as a function of several patient-specific outcomes and could measure, for example, improvement or deterioration in the condition of a patient. Multiple imputation is one method for handling pati...
متن کاملMultiple Imputation of Missing Composite Outcomes in Longitudinal Data
In longitudinal randomised trials and observational studies within a medical context, a composite outcome-which is a function of several individual patient-specific outcomes-may be felt to best represent the outcome of interest. As in other contexts, missing data on patient outcome, due to patient drop-out or for other reasons, may pose a problem. Multiple imputation is a widely used method for...
متن کاملTwo-year clinical and radiographic results with combination etanercept-methotrexate therapy versus monotherapy in early rheumatoid arthritis: a two-year, double-blind, randomized study.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate how continuation of and alterations to initial year 1 combination etanercept-methotrexate (MTX) therapy and MTX monotherapy regimens affect long-term remission and radiographic progression in early, active rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS Subjects were randomized at baseline for the entire 2-year period; those who completed 1 year of treatment with combination or MTX monoth...
متن کاملIs radiographic progression a realistic outcome measure in clinical trials with early inflammatory arthritis?
Radiographic progression is one of the most important outcome measures in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) clinical trials, because it reflects historic disease activity, is associated with loss of function over time, and can be reliably assessed. Trials involving patients with early inflammatory arthritis (EIA) will differ from those focusing on RA patients in many respects. They include a heterogene...
