Transcription of CHAPTER 3 Bias in randomized controlled trials

CHAPTER 3 bias in randomized controlled trialsThe main appeal of the randomized controlled trial (RCT) in health care comes from its potential to reduce selection bias . Randomiza-tion, if done properly, can keep study groups as similar as possible at the outset, so that the investigators can isolate and quantify the effect of the interventions they are studying. No other study design gives us the power to balance unknown prognostic factors at base-line. Random allocation does not, however, protect RCTs against other types of existence of most biases related to RCTs is supported mainly by common sense. In recent years, however, important research efforts have used RCTs as the subject rather than the tool of research.
