If randomized study A performs unadjusted analysis, then randomized study B controls for a stratification variable, the comparability of these studies hinges on whether you think the randomization was well performed. | |
| Mar 28 at 20:39 | comment | added | AdamO | Blinding does not make confounding factors unobservable. In an RCT, I know the patient's demographics and baseline characterstics, I simply don't know the arm they're assigned to, and I might be blinded from data which would reveal the arm such as certain post-treatment labs. Do you really think blinding means blinding potentially confounding factors? | |
