Hospital Choice for Cataract Treatments: The Winner Takes Most
Background Transparency in quality of care is an increasingly important issue in healthcare. In many international healthcare systems, transparency in quality is crucial for health insurers when purchasing care on behalf of their consumers, for providers to improve the quality of care (if necessary), and for consumers to choose their provider in case treatment is needed. Conscious consume...
متن کاملInference for Comparing Two Treatments Using Kernel Density Estimation
In randomized clinical trials, nonparametric approaches are considered when assumptions of a parametric approach are not reasonable. Nonparametric approaches have typically concentrated on hypothesis testing and, unlike parametric approaches, have not been amenable to providing measures of treatment efficacy. If X and Y denote the random variables representing the responses on two treatments A ...
متن کاملAlternating treatments design: one strategy for comparing the effects of two treatments in a single subject.
A little used and often confused design, capable of comparing two treatments within a single subject, has been termed, variously, a multielement baseline design, a multiple schedule design, and a randomization design. The background of these terms is reviewed, and a new, more descriptive term, Alternating Treatments Design, is proposed. Critical differences between this design and a Simultaneou...
متن کاملComparing Two Treatments with Multiple Competing Risks Endpoints
The problem of testing for differences between two treatments with respect to multiple competing risk time-to-event endpoints is considered. Using a nonparametric approach, a multivariate two-sample statistic is proposed for simultaneous testing for differences in cumulative incidence of the multiple competing survival endpoints. Establishment of the statistical properties of the test requires ...
متن کاملComparing two Formulas of Sample Size Determination for Prevalence Studies
Background and purpose: Sample size and its determination is one of the most important problems in health researches. Calculating sample size for prevalence studies is one of the common questions of sample size topics. Minimum sample size with least complexity is desirable in order to achieve the basic goal of these studies. This study aims to compare two formulas of sample size calculation for...
