In a crossover design, controls are: The patients themselves Randomly assigned Previous patients (historical controls) Friends of the patients
Correct option:
The patients themselves
Explanation:
Crossover design is a repeated measurements design such that each patient receives different treatments during different time periods. Thus, in Crossover design, each crossover patient serves as his own control.
In a crossover design, controls are: The patients themselves Randomly assigned Previous patients (historical controls) Friends...
A study described an experiment that randomly assigned participants to receive $3 to spend on themselves (self-interest), or to receive $3 to donate to a nonprofit charity (imposed charity), or to receive $3 that they could either spend on themselves or donate to charity (choice). After receiving or donating the money, the participants rated how happy they were with this experience, on a seven-point scale (with 1 = not at all, 7 = an extreme amount). The authors reported a...

A clinic administerstwo drugs to two groups of randomly assigned patients to cure the same disease: 70 patients received Drug I and 80 patients received Drug II. The following table gives the information about the numbers of patients cured and those not cured by each of these two drugs. To perform a chi-square test of homogeneity for this contingency table at the 10% significance level, what is the critical value of chi-square? 5.991 4.605 3.841 2.706
In a clinical trial, 50 patients suffering from an illness will be randomly assigned to one of two groups so that 25 receive an experimental treatment and 25 receive the best available treatment. The random variable X is the response of a patient to the experimental medicine, and the random variable B is the response of a patient to the best currently available treatment. The random variables X and B are normally distributed with = = 500 X ...
Four treatments (Placebo, A, B, C) were randomly assigned to 32 patients. Data below give for each treatment the number of days (response variable y) for healing to be complete: Treatment Number of days (y) Means 7, 8, 7,7, 10, 12, 9,8 10, 11, 10, 12, 9, 10, 12, 11 10.625 8, 6, 7,9,6, 9,8,7 5, 7, 8, 6, 7,4,5,6 Placebo 8.5 7.5 6.0 1.

A multicenter double-blind randomized study was carried out to compare the effect of drug X with that of a placebo in patients surviving acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Treatment with the drug started 7 days after infarction in 1,884 patients, 52% of all persons who were evaluated for entry into the study. 945 participants were randomized to treatment with drug X while 939 were assigned to the placebo group. Patients were then followed for 12 months for reinfarction. There were 152...
Problem Set 1: The One-way ANOVA Research Scenario: Depressed patients are randomly assigned to 1 of 3 therapists. At the end of 3 months, each patient completes a standardized test of depression (higher scores indicate higher level of depression). The patients’ scores are shown below. Analyze the data to determine how effective these 3 therapists are at treating depression (assume that before the treatment, all 3 groups of patients had the same average depression score). Using this table, enter the...
5. A study is planned to assess the effectiveness of a new combination drug for treating nephrolithiasis (kidney stone). One hundred patients with nephrolithiasis will be randomly assigned to receive either the new combination drug or the standard surgical intervention. The efficacy of the new drug will be measured by the time it takes a patient to return to normal activities, measured in days. Identify the appropriate research design for this study a. Prospective cohort study b. Randomized controlled trial...
The study randomly assigned 13,608 patients with moderate-to-high-risk of acute coronary syndromes with percutaneous coronary intervention to receive either Prasugrel (a 60 mg loading dose and a 10 mg daily maintenance dose), for 6 to 15 months Clopidogrel (a 300 mg loading dose and a 75 mg maintenance dose), for 6 to 15 months The primary efficacy endpoint was death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke. The key was major bleeding. Which of the following is/are the...
