Jan 27, 2018 . This manuscript provides a step-by-step guide to planning, conducting, analyzing and reporting RCTs. Introduction Evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is considered to be at the top of the evidence pyramid. It is recommended that clinical practice decisions are based on evidence emanating from well-conducted RCTs when available 1.

Rationale: After the sample size of a randomized clinical trial (RCT) is set by the power requirement of its primary endpoint, investigators select secondary endpoints while unable to further adjust sample size. How the sensitivity and specificity of an instrument used to measure these outcomes, together with their expected underlying event rates, affect an RCT's power …

Randomized controlled trials (RCT) are prospective studies that measure the effectiveness of a new intervention or treatment. Although no study is likely on its own to prove causality, randomization reduces bias and provides a rigorous tool to examine cause-effect relationships between an intervention and outcome.

Among all types of study design, randomized control trial (RCT) is considered as supreme in terms of strength of evidence. Appropriately planned and vigorously conducted RCT is the best study design to see the intervention-related outcome difference, but simultaneously poorly conducted biased RCTs will misguide the reader.

An RCT is a type of study in which participants are randomly assigned to one of two or more clinical interventions. The RCT is the most scientifically rigorous method of hypothesis testing available, 5 and is regarded as the gold standard trial for evaluating the effectiveness of interventions. 6 The basic structure of an RCT is shown in fig 2.

An RCT in clinical research typically compares a proposed new treatment against an existing standard of care; these are then termed the 'experimental' and 'control' treatments, respectively. When no such generally accepted treatment is available, a placebo may be used in the control group so that participants are blinded to their treatment allocations.

A RCT is generally used to test an intervention, which needs to be verified, exploring its safety and effectiveness. The proposed intervention should be safe and ethically approved. Observational studies can provide an idea about the effect of a specific intervention, but they are generally liable to bias.

Programmable switch outputs ensure that surplus electricity is targeted for the supply of domestic electricity consumers such as heat pumps or electric cars rather than being fed into the public power grid. This charging strategy enables the RCT Power Storage AC to balance the generation and consumption of electricity in the overall system.
In designing an RCT, researchers must carefully select the population, the interventions to be compared and the outcomes of interest. Once these are defined, the number of participants needed to reliably determine if such a relationship exists is calculated (power calculation).
Key Characteristics of the Good RCT (Altman et al., 2001 –the CONSORT Statement) • Specific inclusion or eligibility criteria. • Random allocation sequence assigning participants to treatment or control conditions. • Concealment of the random allocation sequence from those with direct or indirect contact with participants.
Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) (Synonym: Randomized Clinical Trial) ”An epidemiological experiment in which subjects in a population are randomly allocated into groups, usually called study and control groups to receive and not receive an experimental preventive or therapetuic procedure, maneuver, or intervention” John M.Last, 2001 9.
The randomized controlled trial is the most rigorous and robust research method of determining whether a cause-effect relation exists between an intervention and an outcome. High-quality evidence can be generated by performing an randomized controlled trial when evaluating the effectiveness and safety of an intervention.
Appropriately planned and rigorously conducted randomized controlled trials (RCTs) remain the most robust research method available to find the real effect of an intervention, but a biased RCT can lead to the adoption of a wasteful intervention and may even harm patients.
Therefore, randomized controlled trials are becoming increasingly popular in all areas of clinical medicine including perinatology. However, designing and conducting an randomized controlled trial, analyzing data, interpreting findings and disseminating results can be challenging as there are several practicalities to be considered.
Therefore, any difference in the observed outcome between the groups is likely to be due to the intervention rather than any other factors. Although randomization is the best way to minimize the risk of confounding by unmeasured factors, RCTs could still be confounded.
