analysis of longitudinal binary outcomes in clinical trials with low percentage of missing values

چکیده
in interventional or observational longitudinal studies, the issue of missing values is one of the main concepts that should be investigated. the researcher's main concerns are the impact of missing data on the final results of the study and the appropriate methods that missing values should be handled. regarding the role and the scale of the variable that missing values have been occurred and the structure of missing values, different methods for analysis have been presented. in this article, the impact of missing values on a binary response variable, in a longitudinal clinical trial with three follow up sessions has been investigated propensity score, predictive model based and mahalanobis imputation strategies with complete case and available data methods have been used for dealing with missing values in the mentioned study. three models; random intercept, marginal gee and marginalized random effects models were implemented to evaluate the effect of covariates. the percentage of missing responses in each of the treatment groups, throughout the course of the study, differs from 6.8 to 14.1. although, the estimate of variance component in random intercept and marginalized random effect models were highly significant (p <0.001) the same results were obtained for the effect of independent variables on the response variable with different imputation strategies. in our study according to the low missing percentage, there were no considerable differences between different methods that were used for handling missing data.

Missing values and dropouts are common issues in longitudinal studies in all areas of medicine and public health. Intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis has become a widely accepted method for the analysis of controlled clinical trials. In most controlled clinical trials, some patients do not complete their intended followup according to the protocol for a variety of reasons; this problem generates mis...

15 صفحه اولImputation strategies for missing binary outcomes in cluster randomized trials
BACKGROUND Attrition, which leads to missing data, is a common problem in cluster randomized trials (CRTs), where groups of patients rather than individuals are randomized. Standard multiple imputation (MI) strategies may not be appropriate to impute missing data from CRTs since they assume independent data. In this paper, under the assumption of missing completely at random and covariate depen...
متن کاملMissing Values in Binary Matrices
Missing values frequently pose problems in binary matrices analysis since they can hinder downstream analysis of the datasets. Despite the presence of many imputation methods that have been developed to substitute missing values with estimated values, these available techniques have some common disadvantages: they need to fix some parameters (e.g., number of patterns, number of rows to consider...
