2012, JACC: Cardiovascular ImagingChronic care model and shared care in diabetes: Randomized trial of an electronic decision support system
2008, Mayo Clinic ProceedingsCitation Excerpt :Specifically, Part A billed charges were adjusted by using hospital department cost-to-charge ratios and wage indexes, and Part B physician service costs were proxied by 2000 Medicare reimbursement rates. All analyses used hierarchical models, in which the unit of analysis was the unit of randomization, ie, the physician.51,52 To evaluate the success of our randomization process in terms of the prognosis of the patients (given that the physicians were randomized), we used generalized linear models to test the hypothesis of no difference at baseline in patient characteristics across trial arms.
Evaluation of an epilepsy education program for Grade 5 students: A cluster randomized trial
2007, Epilepsy and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :For ease of interpretation, knowledge and attitude difference scores were calculated (posttest knowledge/attitudes minus pretest knowledge/attitudes as the outcome variables) and compared by intervention status. The intervention group experienced, on average, an 11.8-point increase in knowledge following the program (range −4.0–24.0, 95% CI = 11.4–12.5) [22]. This is compared with the control group which, on average, experienced only a 2.2-point increase in knowledge (range −10.0–14.0, 95% CI = 1.8–2.6).
Effect of community-based newborn-care intervention package implemented through two service-delivery strategies in Sylhet district, Bangladesh: a cluster-randomised controlled trial
2008, The LancetCitation Excerpt :For pregnancy-care indicators, the denominator was the total number of births; for newborn-care indicators, the denominator was the total number of livebirths that occurred at home. We used a t test to compare differences in neonatal mortality rate between intervention and comparison clusters.14,15 We estimated the adjusted relative risk (RR) of neonatal mortality for each intervention arm relative to the comparison arm and constructed 95% CIs for RR with Taylor series approximated variance16 and log-transformed RR, controlling for mother's age and years in education, sex and birth order of the index child, and wealth index.
