Estimating the probability of experiencing an improvement in randomized controlled trials based on anchor-based MIC studies – An alternative to responder analyses

Estimating the probability of experiencing an improvement provides an alternative to responder analyses. This approach makes more efficient use of information comprised in the data from anchor-based MIC studies than the translation into MIC values to inform the choice of thresholds in a responder analysis.

Abstract

Estimating the probability of experiencing an improvement provides an alternative to responder analyses. This approach makes more efficient use of information comprised in the data from anchor-based MIC studies than the translation into MIC values to inform the choice of thresholds in a responder analysis.
