Platform to Select the Primary Endpoint in a Randomized Clinical Trial
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present CompARE, a web platform that computes how more efficient is to use a composite endpoint instead of one of its components. CompARE is based on the Asymptotic Relative Efficiency (ARE) method developed by Gómez and Lagakos. Users interact with CompARE through HTML form pages and no knowledge of R is needed. A list of candidate endpoints, anticipatable probabilities and hazard ratios are required to use CompARE. Results are shown immediately through plots, text and tables. We present advanced capabilities of CompARE such as assigning probabilities and hazard ratios to combinations of several endpoints (relevant or additional).
