Abstract:
|
Prior to analysis of clinical endpoints, the trial statistician may encounter significant and clinically meaningful between-group differences in distributions of potentially influential baseline and demographic characteristics. Such differences elevate concern of biased estimates of treatment effects. Examples may include studies with significant losses over follow-up, interim analyses, and post-approval studies. Discussion will focus on the use of propensity scoring in such situations, as well as various types of propensity scoring methods and related features.
