Introduction In article, Immediate and Delayed Cord Clamping in Infants Born Between 24 and 32 Weeks: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial, Mercer reported possible issues regarding methodological assessment of the preceding research involving the capability to perform a meta-analysis of the seven studies. However, a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) aggregates on the present day literature on cord clamping by considering the feasibility, recruitment strategies, and key outcomes of the

Introduction Meta-analysis of large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is the highest level of evi-dence available for clinical practice and guidelines are possible to be based on the re-sults from this analysis. When patients in clinical trials are representative of the whole population seen by clinicians the findings of RCTs are most useful. The validity of generalised conclusion may lack in clinical trials, because participant’s population is not representative of population, being on average

4.3 Discussion Both of two examples above have advantages and disadvantages. In terms of the randomized controlled trial, the researcher used controlled group and experiment group to explore the causality. The results of the experiment tend to contribute to the experimental stimulus. Increasing physical activities was associated with a decreasing incidence of diabetes among people who are at high risk in the illness of diabetes. Furthermore, if it uses the large-scale sample, the same experimental

The authors adhered to the PRISMA guidelines(16) in the preparation of this systematic quantitative review. Randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that examined the analgesic effects of adding SNB to FNB following TKA were reviewed and evaluated using a predesigned protocol. Literature search Two of the authors (F.W.A. and R.B.) independently searched the US National Library of Medicine database, MEDLINE; and the Medline In-Process and Other Non-Indexed Citations databases; the

Evidence-based nursing practice is a result of research studies or randomized controlled trials (RCT). However, from these trials, a compilation of the evidence is gathered that determines the direction of future trials. Often, the results or findings of the research article will indicate if further studies are warranted and indicated why these studies would be beneficial. Also, the possibility of any sampling error, or selection bias that may have of skewed results of the RCT. Wong and Myers

Critique on the Study “Randomized Controlled Trial of a Psychoeducation Program for the Self-Management of Chronic Pain” Patient education remains a vital component in managing health outside the hospital. It promotes self-management, which creates independence and empowerment.

Double Blind Randomized Controlled Trial The controlled and randomized double blind trials refer to a situation in which a medicine investigator is not familiar with the nature of a drug. The term may also mean that a scientist does not realize that a drug is being tested maybe for certain diseases. Such medicines may be under surveillance, and they are only administered in a small prescribed amount in case of any side-effects. For a typical scientific research, the desires, expectations and beliefs
