Randomized Clinical Trials in Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery: Analysis of Discontinuation and Nonpublication Prevalence and Trends
Premature discontinuation was common among cerebrovascular trials in neurosurgery and frequently attributed to difficulties with patient enrollment. Nonpublication was especially common among discontinued trials. Our findings may highlight opportunities to improve research efficiency and potentially improve outcomes for patients with cerebrovascular diseases.
