系统综述或Meta分析的样本量估算——试验序贯分析 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
临床试验重复性原则要求恰当的样本量估算,达到统计学要求的把握度。同样,在系统综述或Meta分析中,当纳入的试验数目较少或纳入试验总的样本量较小时,往往会因为随机误差的影响而夸大干预措施的疗效。通过实例简要介绍一种系统综述或Meta分析样本量估算的软件和方法,通过应用试验序贯分析(TSA)来调整随机误差,并估算系统综述或Meta分析所需的样本量。 相似文献

在循证医学时代,高质量临床试验的结果成为各种诊疗指南的基石。我们在设计和参与试验时是否真正领会了“随机临床试验”的原则?日前约翰斯·霍普金斯大学柯蒂斯·迈纳特教授对此进行了阐述。临床试验的概念与分类临床试验是以人(患者或健康人)为研究对象、以评估一种治疗的疗效和(或)安全性为目的的试验。除了通常的分期之外,临床试验按治疗结构可分为交叉或平行试验;按治疗手段可分为药物、疫苗和手术等试验;按治疗施予方式可分为双盲、单盲和无盲法试验;按对照方式可分为外部对照和内部对照试验;按方案设计可分为随机、系统及“开放”试验等。随机临床试验包含测试组和对照组,每位受试者按照随机法则(“抛硬币原则”)进入不同组接受治疗,对比组间差异。随机临床试验5步骤(1)至少两个治疗组;(2)受试者随机分配;(3)受试者同时入组并接受随访;(4)遵照初始治疗方案进行数据分析;(5)发表数据。随机临床试验 相似文献

目的 研究在多区域临床试验中样本量在各个地区比例分配的合理方法,计算为保证治疗效应在各个地区的一致性概率在80%或90%以上时最小的地区样本量的最低比例为多少。方法 通过多次设定各个地区的样本比例,根据治疗效应一致性概率的计算公式进行多次的计算得到一致性概率并作相关的线图分析。结果 在两个地区的多区域临床试验中,检验效能为80%时,为保证两个地区的治疗效果一致性概率P在80%(或90%)以上,则最小地区样本比例至少要9.3%(或22.2%)。检验效能为90%时,为保证两个地区的治疗效果一致性概率P在80%(或90%)以上,则最小地区样本比例至少要6.8%(或15.9%)。结论 在两地区的多区域临床试验中,随着最小地区样本比例的增加,两个地区的治疗效果一致性概率P也不断的增大。 相似文献

In the first of a series of four articles the authors explain the statistical concepts of hypothesis testing and p values. In many clinical trials investigators test a null hypothesis that there is no difference between a new treatment and a placebo or between two treatments. The result of a single experiment will almost always show some difference between the experimental and the control groups. Is the difference due to chance, or is it large enough to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a true difference in treatment effects? Statistical tests yield a p value: the probability that the experiment would show a difference as great or greater than that observed if the null hypothesis were true. By convention, p values of less than 0.05 are considered statistically significant, and investigators conclude that there is a real difference. However, the smaller the sample size, the greater the chance of erroneously concluding that the experimental treatment does not differ from the control--in statistical terms, the power of the test may be inadequate. Tests of several outcomes from one set of data may lead to an erroneous conclusion that an outcome is significant if the joint probability of the outcomes is not taken into account. Hypothesis testing has limitations, which will be discussed in the next article in the series. 相似文献

Clopidogrel was believed to be superior to aspirin by the well-known CAPRIE trial.However,no other large clinical trials demonstrated the same results,but all focused on the combination use of clopidogrel with aspirin,and combination therapy in CREDO was called the "Emperor's New Clothes".However,no one overturned the results of these clinical trials by quantitatively analyzing them.We reviewed ten large-scale clinical trials about clopidogrel.On the basis of results of CAPRIE,CREDO and CHARISMA trials,we r... 相似文献

In the second of four articles, the authors discuss the "estimation" approach to interpreting study results. Whereas, in hypothesis testing, study results lead the reader to reject or accept a null hypothesis, in estimation the reader can assess whether a result is strong or weak, definitive or not. A confidence interval, based on the observed result and the size of the sample, is calculated. It provides a range of probabilities within which the true probability would lie 95% or 90% of the time, depending on the precision desired. It also provides a way of determining whether the sample is large enough to make the trial definitive. If the lower boundary of a confidence interval is above the threshold considered clinically significant, then the trial is positive and definitive, if the lower boundary is somewhat below the threshold, the trial is positive, but studies with larger samples are needed. Similarly, if the upper boundary of a confidence interval is below the threshold considered significant, the trial is negative and definitive. However, a negative result with a confidence interval that crosses the threshold means that trials with larger samples are needed to make a definitive determination of clinical importance. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To review published clinical trials comparing the efficacy of trazodone with that of tricyclic antidepressant medication. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE was searched for relevant articles published from 1983 to 1991. The bibliography of a review article was searched for further references. STUDY SELECTION: In all, 25 clinical trials were found. Six of these met the methodologic assessment criteria (adapted from the McMaster guidelines for the evaluation of clinical trials), which included the stipulation of a score of 18 or more on the Hamilton depression rating scale and a 50% reduction in that score as an outcome measure. DATA EXTRACTION: All six studies compared trazodone with imipramine. Data describing response to the treatments were extracted, and post-hoc power estimates were calculated. The analysis also involved statistical tests of a modified null hypothesis, the generation of confidence intervals (CIs) and a meta-analysis. DATA SYNTHESIS: All the studies found no significant difference in the efficacy of trazodone and imipramine. However, the statistical power of most of them was less than 50% and often less than 10%; thus there was a low probability that differences would be detected. The results of statistical tests of the modified null hypothesis, inspection of the CIs and the results of the meta-analysis all suggested that trazodone, and imipramine are equally efficacious. CONCLUSION: The application of various techniques for the analysis of equivalence data suggests that trazodone and imipramine are of approximately equivalent efficacy. The data are compatible with small differences in efficacy, but the differences are of a magnitude such that they are unlikely to be of clinical significance. 相似文献

Objectives: This systemic review evaluated the efficacy and safety of Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) complicated with depression. Methods: All databases were retrieved till September 30, 2014. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing CHMs with placebo or conventional Western medicine were retrieved. Data extraction, analyses and quality assessment were performed according to the Cochrane standards. RevMan 5.3 was used to synthesize the results. Results: Thirteen RCTs enrolling 1,095 patients were included. Subgroup analysis was used to assess data. In reducing the degree of depression, CHMs showed no statistic difference in the 4th week [mean difference (MD)=–1.06; 95% confidence interval (CI) –2.38 to 0.26; n=501; I2=73%], but it was associated with a statistically significant difference in the 8th week (MD=–1.00; 95% CI –1.64 to –0.36; n=436; I2=48%). Meanwhile, the combination therapy (CHMs together with antidepressants) showed significant statistic differences both in the 4th week (MD=–1.99; 95% CI –3.80 to –0.18; n=90) and in the 8th week (MD=–5.61; 95% CI –6.26 to –4.97; n=242; I2=87%). In CHD-related clinical evaluation, 3 trials reported the intervention group was superior to the control group. Four trials showed adverse events in the intervention group was less than that in the control group. Conclusions: CHMs showed potentially benefits on patients with CHD complicated with depression. Moreover, the effect of CHMs may be similar to or better than antidepressant in certain fields but with less side effects. However, because of small sample size and potential bias of most trials, this result should be interpreted with caution. More rigorous trials with larger sample size and higher quality are warranted to give high quality of evidence to support the use of CHMs for CHD complicated with depression. 相似文献

The aim of this investigation was to objectify the pharmacodynamic effects of different dosages of a commercially available plant extract mixture of valerian and hops by means of the quantitative topographical EEG (qEEG) in healthy young adults in comparison to placebo. Two different dosages were applied in two single-blind, cross-over designed observation trials in 12 healthy volunteers (1st dosage: 500 mg valerian and 120 mg hops, versus placebo, first clinical trial; 2nd dosage: 1500 mg valerian and 360 mg hops, versus placebo, second clinical trial). QEEG was recorded bipolarly from 17 surface electrodes according to the 10:20 system and analysed using the Fast Fourier Transformation prior to, 1, 2 and 4 hours after drug intake in the recording conditions eyes open, eyes closed and under mental demand. The EEG-spectra were cut into six frequency bands. Both resting conditions (eyes open and eyes closed) were analysed together. After application of the low dosage qEEG power changes remained more or less within placebo range following the normal circadian rhythmics, except for a tendentious reduction of alpha- and beta1-power 4 h after drug intake. The high dosage led to power increases in delta, decreases in alpha and a weak decrease in beta-power. Under mental performance only weak differences to placebo were seen which are not discussed here. In the CPT (completion of complicated additions and subtractions) the concentration and performance capability were hardly influenced. However, a minimal increase of mean answer time and mean OK time (time for correct answers) was observed 4 hours after intake of 2 dragees and 1 hour after 6 dragees of valerian and hops mixture with more pronounced changes after the low dosage than the high one. In summary, the quantitative topographical EEG was able to show slight, but clear visible effects on the CNS especially after intake of the high dosage of valerian-hops mixture Ze 91019 indicating reproducible pharmacodynamic responses of the target organ. 相似文献
