概括
这项研究比较了两种中风护理模型,以找到患者康复和生活质量的最佳方法. 结果将为全国范围内未来的中风护理策略提供信息.
科学领域:
- 神经学 神经学
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
- 医疗保健管理的管理
背景情况:
- 在美国,中风是导致死亡和残疾的主要原因,复发率很高.
- 目前的中风护理模式提供有限的退院后支持,影响患者的长期康复和护理人员的福祉.
- 两种模式,联合委员会综合性中风护理 (TJC CSC) 认证和综合性中风实践单位 (ISPU) 被使用,但它们的比较有效性尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定两种中风护理模型的有效性:TJC CSC单独与TJC CSC与ISPU结合.
- 为了比较两个护理模型之间的中风后12个月的患者功能和生活质量结果.
- 产生关键的科学证据,为国家中风护理指南提供信息.
主要方法:
- 一个务实的,多中心的,III期,集群随机临床试验 (C3FIT),将CSC-Only (对照) 与ISPU+CSC (干预) 进行比较.
- 最多23个临床地点被随机分类,按地区和患者数量分层.
- 以患者为中心的结局 (修改的兰金度量,中风影响度量) 在出院后3,6个月和12个月使用混合效应模型进行评估.
主要成果:
- 研究方案旨在确定有效性,但结果尚未提供.
- C3FIT试验将提供有关患者功能和生活质量的比较数据.

01:13Randomized Experiments
6.6K
The randomization process involves assigning study participants randomly to experimental or control groups based on their probability of being equally assigned. Randomization is meant to eliminate selection bias and balance known and unknown confounding factors so that the control group is similar to the treatment group as much as possible. A computer program and a random number generator can be used to assign participants to groups in a way that minimizes bias.

2.3K
Blinding is a commonly used method of not telling participants which treatment a subject is receiving. Blinding is a critical part of a randomized control trial or RCT. It reduces the bias that affects the results. In an RCT, blinding is used in the form of a placebo. A placebo effect occurs when untreated subjects falsely believe they have received the treatment and report improved symptoms. A placebo or a dummy treatment is administered to subjects to negate the bias caused by such an effect.

11.0K
An experimental design is a systematic process that allows researchers to evaluate the relationship between dependent and independent variables. There are three widely used types of experimental design - pre-experimental design, true experimental design, and quasi-experimental design. In pre-experimental design, the researcher compares the data before and after some interventions or treatments. The true-experimental design has more than one purposefully created group, a commonly measured...
