Abstract

We propose a sequential approach for constructing multiple-objective locally optimal designs for nonlinear models. The technique used here is a general one and we demonstrate the added benefits of using a multiple-objective design over a single-objective design with examples from biomedical studies.

Repeated measures in clinical trials: simple strategies for analysis using summary measures.

The summary measures approach to analysing repeated measures is described. The circumstances under which it can be advantageous to use such measures are considered. Strategies for baseline adjustment where there are multiple baselines are examined, as is the choice of appropriate summary statistic. A compromise trend/mean measure, regression through the origin, is proposed as being useful under some circumstances. An analysis using this measure is illustrated with a suitable example.

Prenatal detection of a high-risk group for intrauterine growth restriction based on sonographic fetal biometry.

OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to evaluate the significance of sonographic fetal biometry in predicting low birth weight. METHOD: Five hundred and sixty-eight single-term pregnancies were analyzed. They were stratified into seven subgroups by birth weight deviation (BWD). Among the 568 pregnancies, 115 were revealed to be small-for-gestational-age (SGA) (birth weight less than mean -1.5 S. D.). When IUGR was suspected by routine sonographic fetal biometry, 'IUGR work-up' was carried out. The diagnostic performance of our screening method for the detection of SGA pregnancies in the general population was calculated. RESULT: The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and odds ratio of our screening method for the detection of SGA pregnancies in the general population were 73.0, 96.6, 83.2, 98.0% and 131.0, respectively. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that sonographic biometry is useful for the prenatal detection of high-risk cases of fetal growth restriction.

The biometrical comparison of cardiac imaging methods.

OBJECTIVES: Biometrical comparison procedures for cardiac imaging methods with continuous outcome are reviewed mainly concentrating on assessment and design adequate comparison of accuracy and precision. Univariate graphical and numerical representation of corresponding deviations is outlined to derive a 'check list' of minimum information necessary to compare the measurement methods. DATA: The methods reviewed here are illustrated by the comparison of standard 2DE bidimensional cardial volumetry versus assessment using TDE colour imaging in 28 normal probands. SOURCES: The paired t-test and the corresponding confidence interval approach are used to assess deviations in location of two imaging methods; the test procedures of Maloney and Rastogi Hahn and Nelson and Grubbs are surveyed as proposals for the comparison of precisions in paired data. The Krippendorff coefficient and the Bradley/Blackwood test are illustrated as surrogate measures for method concordance. CONCLUSIONS: Since these methods can be performed by simple modification of standard options available in most statistics software packages, this review intends to enable cardiologists to choose appropriate methods for statistical data analysis and representation on their own.
