Data sharing: experience of accessing individual patient data from completed randomised controlled trials in vascular and cognitive medicine (2020)
Journal Article
Scutt, P., Woodhouse, L. J., Montgomery, A. A., & Bath, P. M. .. (2020). Data sharing: experience of accessing individual patient data from completed randomised controlled trials in vascular and cognitive medicine. BMJ Open, 10(9), Article e038765. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2020-038765

Objectives Meta-analysis based on individual patient data (IPD) from randomised trials is superior to using published summary data since it facilitates subgroup and multiple variable analyses. Guidelines and funders expect that researchers share IPD...

Background Failure to collect outcome data in randomised trials can result in bias and loss of statistical power. Further evaluations of strategies to increase retention are required. We assessed the effectiveness of two strategies for retention in...
