Steps need to be taken in order to ensure that this does not compromise the integrity of clinical trials; hence “Selection Bias and Covariate Imbalances in Randomized Clinical Trials” offers a comprehensive treatment of the subject and the methodology involved.  This book:  \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides an overview of the hierarchy of study designs, and justifies the position of randomised trials at the top of this hierarchy.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses the strengths and defects of randomisation, and provides real evidence to justify concern regarding its defects.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutlays the damaging consequences that selection bias causes when it does occur.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsiders courses of action that can be taken to manage\/ contain the problem.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents methods that can be used to detect selection bias in randomised trials, and methods to correct for selection bias.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConcludes by providing a comprehensive plan for managing baseline imbalances and selection bias in randomised trials, and proposing open problems for future research.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e Illustrated with case studies, this book introduces groundbreaking ideas and research that will be invaluable to researchers and practitioners who design and analyse clinical trials.
