With the growing interest in using real-world evidence (RWE) for regulatory purposes, researchers and policy makers are considering how best to assess credibility of RWE. Because randomized controlled trial (RCT) has long been regarded as gold standard high-quality research, one approach being pursued is see what extent findings from RCTs can be replicated based on analyses nonrandomized data (...

BACKGROUND Advanced maternal age (AMA) is an important parameter that negatively influences the clinical pregnancy rate in IVF, in particular owing to the increased embryo aneuploidy rate. It has thus been suggested that only transferring euploid embryos in this patient group would improve the pregnancy rate. The purpose of this study was to test whether employing preimplantation genetic screen...

We conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare the effect of high vs. low mean arterial pressure (MAP) levels on clinical outcomes and complications in elderly patients under general anesthesia (GA). METHODS In this multicenter, randomized,...

Despite development of new and innovative medical therapies, still millions of patients with chronic heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction and/or atrial fibrillation (AF) are treated with cardiac glycosides (overall 122 millions of patients defined daily dose prescriptions 2013 in Germany). Randomized evidence for efficacy of this treatment strategy is, however, sparse. For HF with ...
