- A prospective study on the relationship between aspirin use and heart attacks by the Physicians’ Health Study Research Group at Harvard Medical School is presented below. The Physicians’ Health Study was a 5-year randomized study of whether regular aspirin intake reduces risk of myocardial infarction or heart attack. Every other day, physicians participating in the study took either one aspirin tablet or a placebo. The study was blind ---those in the study did not know whether they were taking aspirin or a placebo. Of the 11,034 physicians taking a placebo, 189 suffered heart attacks over the course of the study, whereas of the 11,037 taking aspirin, 104 had heart attacks. Can we say that the intake of aspirin appears to diminish the risk of myocardial infarction? LOOK AT THE IMAGE (table) THAT I ATTACHED Let patients taking placebo be the first group and those taking aspirin in the second group. Calculate the following and make an interpretation: confidence interval for risk…The May 10, 2007 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine describes two large randomized, placebo-controlled trials of a vaccine for HPV-related cancer. HPV is human papillomavirus, the most common form of sexually transmitted infection. For the group of people who received the vaccine, the HPV-related cancer rate was much lower than for those who received a placebo. Which best describes the goal of this study?In a planned clinical trial, patients will be randomized to receive either medical treatment or surgery. However, it is anticipated that, among those randomized to the medical arm, 10% may require emergency surgery at some time while on study, and 5% of patients randomized to surgery may not actually receive surgery for various reasons. You plan to analyze the data using the intent-to-treat paradigm. Using the approach described in Freidman et al., to account for drop-outs and drop-ins, how much should the planned sample size be increased to account for drop-outs and drop-ins?
- In a clinical trial of Nasonex, 300 allergy patients were randomized into two groups, with Group 1 receiving the Nasonex drug (200 mg) and Group 2 receiving a placebo. The experimenter used a 2:1 randomization plan so that more subjects would be assigned to the Nasonex group. One outcome of interest is the incidence rate of headache as a side-effect. Of the 200 patients randomized to the Nasonex group, 52 (or 26%) reported experiencing a headache; and of the 100 patients randomized to the placebo group, only 22 (22%) reported a headache. 1. The makers of Nasonex are concerned that their allergy medication might increase the incidence of headaches. So they would like to assess the claim that the incidence rate of headaches is higher for Nasonex users as compared to placebo. So the null hypothesis is given by H0: p1 - p2 = 0. Select the appropriate alternative hypothesis. Ha: p1 - p2 ≠ 0 Ha: p1 - p2 > 0 Ha: p1 - p2 < 0 2. It seems that the sample sizes of 200…Researchers examine the association between the fluoridation of water and the prevention of tooth decay by comparing the prevalence of tooth decay in countries that have fluoridated water with the prevalence in countries that do not. Is this a randomized experiment or an observational study? Assume that tooth decay was seen to be less common in countries with fluoridated water. Could this result be due to confounding?In July 2008 the US National Institutes of Health announced that it was stopping a clinical study early because of unexpected results. The study population consisted of HIV-infected women in sub-Saharan Africa who had been given single dose Nevaripine (a treatment for HIV) while giving birth, to prevent transmission of HIV to the infant. The study was a randomized comparison of continued treatment of a woman (after successful childbirth) with Nevaripine vs. Lopinavir, a second drug used to treat HIV. 240 women participated in the study; 120 were randomized to each of the two treatments. Twenty-four weeks after starting the study treatment, each woman was tested to determine if the HIV infection was becoming worse (an outcome called virologic failure). Twenty-six of the 120 women treated with Nevaripine experienced virologic failure, while 10 of the 120 women treated with the other drug experienced virologic failure. 1) Complete the hypothesis test and find the test statistic and…
- The objective of a randomized controlled trial by Adab et al. (A-19) was to determine whether providing women with additional information on the pros and cons of screening for cervical cancer would increase the willingness to be screened. A treatment group of 138 women received a leaflet on screening that contained more information (average individual risk for cervical cancer, likelihood of positive finding, the possibility of false positive/negative results, etc.) than the standard leaflet developed by the British National Health Service that 136 women in a control group received. In the treatment group, 109 women indicated they wanted to have the screening test for cervical cancer while in the control group, 120 indicated they wanted the screening test. Construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference in proportions for the two populations represented by these samples.A 2017 article in The New England Journal of Medicine details the results of a randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of a rotavirus gastroenteritis vaccine designed for infants. As per the authors: “Each year, rotavirus gastroenteritis is responsible for about 37% of deaths from diarrhea among children younger than 5 years of age worldwide, with a disproportionate effect in sub-Saharan Africa. We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial in Niger to evaluate the efficacy of a live, oral bovine rotavirus pentavalent vaccine (BRV-PV, Serum Institute of India) to prevent severe rotavirus gastroenteritis. Healthy infants received three doses of the vaccine or placebo at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of age. Episodes of rotavirus gastroenteritis were assessed through active and passive surveillance.” The following Kaplan-Meier curves show the time to a diagnosis of rotavirus gastroenteritis separately for the vaccine and placebo samples. Infants were followed for up to 60…The results of a multicenter clinical trial to determine the safety and efficacy of the pancreatic lipase inhibitor, Xenical, was reported (Ingersoll, 1997). Xenical is used to block the absorption of dietary fat. The article reported that more than 4000 patients in the U.S. and Europe were randomized to receive Xenical or a placebo in a parallel groups study. After one year, 57% of those receiving Xenical had lost at least 5% of their body weight, as opposed to 31% of those receiving a placebo. Assume that exactly 4000 patients were in the study, and that 2000 were randomized to receive a placebo and 2000 received Xenical. Please Compute a 95% confidence interval for the “relative risk” of losing at least 5% of body weight for those receiving Xenical relative to those receiving placebo. Can the drug be considered effective?
- According to a research study, people are able to better manage their time when they wear watches than when they use mobile phones or other gadgets to keep track of time. To test this, 300 college students were randomized into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was asked to wear a watch every day, and the control group was asked to avoid wearing a watch for 50 days. The number of occasions when students from both groups arrived later than their scheduled time was noted. The results of the experiment showed that the mean score of the treatment group was exactly 15 points less than the mean score of the control group. To test whether the results could be explained by random chance, the researchers created the following table, which summarizes the results of 1,000 randomizations of the data with differences of means rounded to the nearest 5 points. Consider the significance level to be set at 5%, so results lower than 5% can be considered statistically significant.…In randomized, double-blind clinical trials of a new vaccine, infants were randomly divided into two groups. Subjects in group 1 received the new vaccine while subjects in group 2 received a control vaccine. After the second dose, 126 of 387 subjects in the experimental group (group 1) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. After the second dose, 158 of 574 of the subjects in the control group (group 2) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. Does the evidence suggest that a higher proportion of subjects in group 1 experienced drowsiness as a side effect than subjects in group 2 at the α=0.01 level of significance? Verify the model requirements. Select all that apply. A. The sample size is less than 5% of the population size for each sample. B. n1p11−p1≥10 and n2p21−p2≥10 C. The samples are dependent. D.
