- 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…In a randomized double-blind clinical trials of a new vaccine children were randomly divided into two groups subjects in group one received the new vaccine while subjects in group 2 received a control vaccine after the second dose 112 of 690 subjects in the experimental group 1 experienced drowsiness as a side effect after the second dose 69 of 571 of the subjects in the control group 2 experienced drowsiness as a side effect does the evidence suggest that a higher proportion of subjects in group 1 experience drowsiness as a side effect than subjects in group 2 at 0.05 level of significance? Determine the null and alternative hypothesis? find the test statistic for this hypothesis test? determine the P value for this hypothesis test? do we reject or not reject the null hypothesis and why? State your conclusion?A 2012 article in the New England Journal reports the results of a randomized trial to assess the association between regular usage of asthma medication prior to turning 18 years old, and height at age 18 years. As per the authors, "From December 1993 through September 1995, we randomly assigned 1041 children between the ges of 5 and 13 years with mild-to-moderate asthma to one of three study groups in the double-blind, placebo-controlled CAMP trial." (reference: Kelly H, et al. Effect of Inhaled Glucocorticoids in Childhood on Adult Height. New England of Medicine (2012). 367 (10)) The random assignment groups were Budesonide, Nedocromil and placebo. The following graphic shows the distribution of female and male participant heights at different times in the study follow-up, presented for the Budesonide and placebo samples.
- 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.

The data come…In randomized, double-blind clinical trials of a new vaccine, rats 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, 111 of 670 subjects in the experimental group (group 1) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. After the second dose, 68 of 551 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=0.05 level of significance? a. Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test. Round to two decimal places as needed.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?
- An article from the American Journal of Public Health reports the results from a randomized study designed to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention targeted to Hispanic/Latino men who identify as gay, bi-sexual or other men who have sex with men (MSM). A representative sample of 254 such men was randomized to be in either the intervention group (n=152, with 141 ultimately participating in the study) or the control group (n=152, with 147 ulitmately participating in the study). The primary outcome under study getting tested for HIV within the six-months following group assignment (randomization) among those who had been sexually active in this same six-month follow-up period. At six months of follow-up, 141 subjects in the intervention group reported having had sex (with men and/or women) since randomization. Of these 141 men, 114 had been tested for HIV since being randomized. At six months of follow-up, 147 subjects in the control group reported having had sex (with men…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?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…
- Elizon Pharmaceuticals, Inc., announced the results of its first human trial of NPI 32101, a topical form of its skin ointment. A total of 225 patients diagnosed with skin irritations were randomly divided into three groups as part of a double-blind, placebo-controlled study to test the effectiveness of the new topical cream. The first group received a 0.5% cream, the second group received a 1.0% cream, and the third group received a placebo. Groups were treated twice daily for a 6-week period. (a)What type of experimental design is this? (b)What is the control group for this study? (c)What is the factor that is set to predetermined levels? What is the treatment? (d)What does it mean for this study to be double-blind? (e)Identify the experimental units. (f)Draw a diagram to illustrate the design.The Physicians' Health Study was a randomized clinical trial, one goal of which was to assess the effect of aspirin in preventing myocardial infarction (MI). Participants were 22,000 male physicians ages 40-84 and free of cardiovascular disease in 1982. The physicians were randomized to either active aspirin (one white pill containing 325 mg of aspirin taken every other day) or aspirin placebo (one white placebo pill taken every other day). Suppose we assume that the incidence of MI is 0.005 per year among participants who actually take placebo and that aspirin prevents 20% of MIs. How many participants need to be enrolled in each group to have an **80%** chance of detecting a significant difference using a **one-sided test** with $\alpha=0.05$ if **compliance is perfect**?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. a. Is this a randomized experiment or an observational study? b. Assume that tooth decay was seen to be less common in countries with fluoridated water. Could this result be due to confounding?
