Abstract:
BackgroundThere is evidence from North American trials that supported employment using the individual placement and support (IPS) model is effective in helping individuals with severe mental illness gain competitive employment. There have been few trials in other parts of the world.AimsTo investigate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of IPS in the UK.MethodIndividuals with severe mental illness in South London were randomised to IPS or local traditional vocational services (treatment as usual) (ISRCTN96677673).ResultsTwo hundred and nineteen participants were randomised, and 90% assessed 1 year later. There were no significant differences between the treatment as usual and intervention groups in obtaining competitive employment (13% in the intervention group and 7% in controls; risk ratio 1.35, 95% CI 0.95–1.93, P = 0.15), nor in secondary outcomes.ConclusionsThere was no evidence that IPS was of significant benefit in achieving competitive employment for individuals in South London at 1-year follow-up, which may reflect suboptimal implementation. Implementation of IPS can be challenging in the UK context where IPS is not structurally integrated with mental health services, and economic disincentives may lead to lower levels of motivation in individuals with severe mental illness and psychiatric professionals.

Abstract:
In recent years there has been much debate regarding the evaluation of treatments in medicine. The evidence-based medicine (EBM) movement has formed partly out of the realisation that clinical practice is often poorly informed by the best available evidence, and that many widely used treatments are either completely untested, or tested and proven to be ineffective or even harmful. EBM has been characterised as a stick by which policy-makers and academics beat clinicians (Williams & Garner, 2002). However, another side to EBM has been the realisation that research performed to test new treatments has often been of poor quality, or has asked the wrong questions (Hotopf et al, 1997; Thornley & Adams, 1998; Barbui & Hotopf, 2001). We have previously argued that clinicians could justifiably criticise the research establishment for failing to provide answers to relevant clinical problems of everyday practice (Hotopf et al, 1999).

Abstract:
Background: Meeting recruitment targets for randomised controlled trials is challenging. This trial evaluated the effectiveness of including a pen within the trial invitation pack on the recruitment of older adults into a randomised controlled trial. Methods: This trial was embedded within the Occupational Therapist Intervention Study, a falls-prevention randomised controlled trial. Potential participants (n = 1862), who were posted an invitation pack from two General Practitioner practices, were randomised to either not receive a pen (n = 1295) or receive a pen (n = 648) with their invitation pack, using a 2:1 ratio. The primary outcome was the likelihood of being randomised, and therefore fully recruited, to the host trial. To be randomised to the host trial, participants had to: return a consent form and screening form; be eligible on their screening form; and return a baseline questionnaire and a monthly falls calendar. Secondary outcomes were: the likelihood of returning (and time to return) a screening form; being eligible for the host trial; and remaining in the trial for at least 3 months. Results: The likelihood of being randomised to the host trial did not differ between the pen group (4.5%) and no pen group (4.3%; odds ratio 1.04; 95% confidence interval: 0.65 to 1.67; p = 0.86). There were marginal differences in secondary outcomes in favour of the pen group, particularly in screening form return rates, though these differences were not statistically significant. Conclusion: Pens may not be an effective incentive for the recruitment of older adults into randomised controlled trials, though future trials are required. Registration: ISRCTN22202133; SWAT 37.

Abstract:
Abstract Background The randomised-controlled trial (RCT) provides the best evidence for evaluating treatment effects and is accepted as a gold standard for clinical and regulatory decision making (1;2). One of the major challenges to the conduct of RCTs is the recruitment of adequate numbers of participants. Inadequate numbers reduce the power of a study to detect statistically significant treatment effects, and may cause delays, increased costs and failure to complete trials. The need for clinical trials in children has been increasingly recognised by the scientific community, resulting in increased demands for the inclusion of children in trials. For several reasons, recruiting children to trials is more challenging than recruiting adults, as consent issues are more difficult because parents make decisions about trial participation on behalf of their child. Despite general professional and community support for paediatric clinical trials, parents and paediatricians express reluctance when their own child or patient is asked to participate. Although researchers working with children commonly experience difficulty with recruiting children to RCTs, little is known about this very important subject. The method by which potential participants are approached for trial participation, the influence of their health care provider and the attitude of potential participants (or their parents, in the case of children), are critical to the understanding of the decision making process for trial participation. This thesis is one of the first major attempts to explore the issues surrounding the recruitment of children to RCTs, and is divided into four studies which address these issues. Methods Recruitment strategies used to encourage participation in randomised controlled trials (systematic review) Eligible experimental and observational studies comparing methods of recruiting participants for RCTs were identified after a comprehensive search of Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library and reference lists. Independent data extractions were completed by two reviewers who assessed the studies for eligibility and methodological quality. Outcome measures were consent rates, proportion enrolled by each method and cost of recruitment per participant. Summary estimators of effects were calculated using a random effects model and expressed as relative risk with 95% confidence intervals. Heterogeneity was analysed using the Q statistic. Paediatricians� attitudes to children�s participation in randomised controlled trials (focus group research) Qualitative analysis of focus group discussions involving 16 paediatricians and 5 trainees from a paediatric teaching hospital in Sydney was undertaken. Doctors varied in occupation, experience, research activity, age, gender, ethnicity and parenthood experience. A professional facilitator conducted the semi-structured group discussions. Recruitment ceased when informational redundancy was reached, after 4 focus groups involving 21 participants. The transcribed audiotapes were analysed by theme linkage using the constant comparative method. Australian paediatricians� and adult physicians� attitudes to randomised controlled trials (survey) A 44-item questionnaire was sent to 250 paediatricians and 250 adult physicians randomly selected from the membership list of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. Questions assessing doctors� treatment philosophies and attitudes to trials were compared with demographic and practice variables. Parents� attitudes to children�s participation in randomised controlled trials (focus group research) Qualitative analysis of focus group discussions involving 33 parents from 5 different settings (representing parents of children with a life threatening, chronic or acute illness, with experience in trials and of healthy children) was undertaken. Parents varied in age, gender, ethnicity, level of education, research experience and their child�s health status. The transcribed discussions were analysed by theme linkage using the constant comparative method. Results Recruitment strategies used to encourage participation in randomised controlled trials (systematic review) Fifty papers were included (out of 8602 titles and abstracts searched) which described 8 RCTs, 2 quasi RCTs, 13 prospective cohort studies, 30 retrospective cohort studies and 2 before-after studies. These studies assessed how over 4 million people were approached for RCT participation using 87 different recruitment strategies, with 103,406 people enrolling in RCTs. Health care provider (HCP) referrals had the highest participant consent rates at the time of exposure to trial information (HCP referral versus target mailing: relative risk (RR) 1.84 (95% confidence interval (95%CI) 1.08, 3.13)). They also had the highest consent rates when potential participants respond to the recruitment material by further enquiry about the trial (HCP referral versus community presentation: RR 1.37 (1.06; 1.78); HCP referral versus worksite approach: RR 25.20 (20.19, 31.45); HCP referral versus general community approach: RR 2.53 (0.46, 14.05); HCP referral versus mailing: RR 3.29 (1.26, 8.60); HCP referral versus media: RR 2.66 (1.31, 5.41)). However, by the time potential participants attend eligibility assessment for trial participation, no difference in consent rates could be distinguished by method of recruitment. Higher proportions of study participants were recruited by methods that exposed larger numbers of potential candidates to trial information (despite their lower consent rates). The stated recruitment cost ranged from US$0 to $1108 per participant, with mailing being the most cost-effective method and community methods (such as community presentations, pamphlets and posters displayed at community sites) the least effective. Paediatricians� attitudes to children�s participation in randomised controlled trials (focus group research) From the focus group discussions, paediatricians thought parents balanced perceived gains and risks when deciding about trial participation. They also believed the child�s condition and parents� health beliefs and personal attributes influenced parents� decisions. Other factors thought to be important by paediatricians were the doctors� beliefs and their relationship with the investigators. Paediatricians perceived gains for trial participation including professional benefits for themselves, improved patient care, convenience for the families and themselves and scientific advancement. Perceived risks included inconvenience, inadequate resources and potential harms to the patient and the doctor-patient relationship. Paediatricians with previous research experience were most knowledgeable about RCTs and perceived greatest gains from trial participation. Paediatricians� personal treatment preferences hindered trial support. Australian paediatricians� and adult physicians� attitudes to randomised controlled trials (survey) Response rate from the paediatricians� and adult physicians� survey was 60% (300/500). Australian paediatricians and adult physicians are very similar in their treatment philosophies, and are clinician-oriented rather than research-oriented in their attitudes, with primary allegiance to their patients and preference for selecting treatment rather than referring for trial participation in the face of treatment uncertainty. Professional activities are clinically focused, with limited time assigned for research. Australian doctors perceive little reward for trial participation and claim that the opinions of referring doctors regarding RCTs does not influence them. Predictors of favourable attitudes to trial participation from the survey were time allocation for research, a history of referring patients to trials in the past and younger age (all p values less than 0.0001). Parents� attitudes to children�s participation in randomised controlled trials (focus group research) When parents were interviewed, they acknowledged balancing risks and benefits when deciding about trial participation for their child. Perceived benefits include the offer of hope, better care of their child, the opportunity to access new treatments, healthcare professionals and health information, meeting others in similar circumstances and helping others. Perceived risks include potential side effects, being randomised to ineffective treatments and the inconvenience of participation. The decision for trial participation is also influenced by parental factors (parents� knowledge, beliefs and emotional response), child factors (the child�s health status and preference about participation), trial factors (the use of placebos and the uncertainties of research) and doctor factors (doctor�s recommendations and communication of trial information). Conclusions There are many challenges to the successful conduct of RCTs. Ways of addressing these include: using effective methods of recruiting potential study participants (such as mailing of recruitment material to potential participants) and abandoning ineffective strategies (such as community methods): fostering greater willingness for trial participation by addressing parents� and paediatricians� concerns including enhancing communication between researchers, paediatricians and parents, and improving the gains-hazard balance (by increasing incentives while decreasing inconveniences); and reforming in the health care system to raise the priority placed on clinical research by restructuring clinical research in a clinically predominant workplace and with a clinically predominant workforce. The findings from this study have implications for researchers planning RCTs for children in the future. Careful consideration of the above will enhance RCTs participation for children improving efficiency, lowering costs and ultimately improving the future health care of children.

Abstract:
Unplanned changes to the research plan of a randomised controlled trial (RCT) may be a necessary response to unforeseen circumstances. Such changes can help ensure the value and relevance of a trial, but also have the potential to introduce a bias if performed inappropriately. This thesis addresses three broad aims. The first was to highlight the methodological implications of approaches to making various unplanned changes through a series of simulation studies. The second was to estimate the prevalence of such changes to a contemporary sample of published RCTs registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry (ANZCTR). The third was to assess, and extend as applicable, recommendations for ensuring such changes are performed appropriately and are well documented. The simulation studies were performed using data from a large RCT of statin therapy for secondary prevention. The first of these demonstrated how unplanned changes (to various aspects of the design such as the primary endpoint) risks introducing a bias if undertaken with knowledge of treatment allocation, but not if made without knowledge of treatment allocation. The second investigated strategies for reacting to an observed imbalance on baseline prognostic factors in an RCT. It demonstrated that: continuing with original plans of unadjusted analyses, provided valid p-values irrespective of the direction of the prognostic imbalance, and any decisions informed by knowledge of the direction of the prognostic covariate imbalance were prone to bias. The third simulation study investigated strategies for reacting to a lower-than-expected event rate. It showed that switching to an expanded composite endpoint in response to a low pooled event rate does not inflate the type 1 error rate (and is likely to improve the statistical power, provided the expanded composite is sound). A sample of 181 RCTs that were registered with the ANZCTR and had published a primary result paper were assessed for changes to their research plans, and whether these changes were legitimate or not (that is, made with or without knowledge of treatment allocation). A full audit was conducted on trials with accessible protocols (N=124) and a limited central review on trials without accessible protocols (N=57). The primary results publication was cross-checked with the protocol documents across six methodological aspects for the full audit, and trialists were contacted to resolve queries as necessary. The publication was checked against the registry record for the limited central review, over a subset of three methodological aspects. A key finding of this study was that it was often not possible to reliably assess whether changes had been made or whether changes were made in a blinded manner, based on review of documentation alone. After clarification was sought from the participating trialists, changes were found to be relatively common but typically made in a blinded manner. Improvements to the way unplanned changes to RCT research plans are documented are needed. A set of recommendations to supplement existing guidelines relating to the documentation of RCT research plans was developed. One key recommendation was that trialists should adopt and implement the principles of the recently developed CONSERVE 2021 Statement to appropriately perform and document substantive changes. A second was that strategies that oblige trialists to upload full protocols (and protocol amendments) to clinical trial registries warrant further investigation and further consideration should be given to including all key methodological aspects in registry records. The work undertaken provides valuable guidance for trialists (and stakeholders) on how to make and document a methodologically justifiable change to a planned RCT design/analysis and highlights the circumstances under which a change can lead to bias. This is important for ensuring that methodically unsound changes to RCTs are recognised and avoided, and that RCTs that have undergone methodically sound changes are not incorrectly dismissed as potentially biased.

Abstract:
To better define the differences between laparoscopic (LC) and mini cholecystectomy (MC) in treating cholelithiasis, we conducted a randomized controlled trial with 70 patients (LC:38, MC:32).
Both groups were comparable at baseline. The median length of post-operative hospital stay and time to full diet were significantly shorter in LC than MC (p $<$ 0.005 for both). Mean duration of convalescence was 11.9 ($ pm$9.1) days for LC and 20.2 ($ pm$16.5) days for MC (p = 0.04). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis confirmed these results. Using Cox's proportional hazards model, duration of convalescence was only found to be associated with the type of cholecystectomy performed. Three quality of life scores showed that LC patients improved more quickly than MC patients after cholecystectomy.
Surgeons underestimated convalescence on average by 25% (p $<$ 0.01) when compared to nurses' measurements.
In conclusion, even though recovery after MC was shorter than generally anticipated, time to recovery from LC was still shorter and more predictable than MC.

Abstract:
Waterbirths have been available in the United Kingdom as a method of pain relief for childbirth for over two decades but the neonatal safety of birth in water remains unevaluated. Opponents of a waterbirth randomised controlled trial state randomisation would undermine women’s childbirth experience. In addition, little is known about midwives’ attitudes to waterbirths. This thesis addresses some of the lack of evidence by reporting the findings of two studies which had three aims: to investigate the feasibility of a waterbirth RCT to assess the effects of a waterbirth on the neonate, to explore women’s thoughts about participation and whether randomisation affects women’s satisfaction with their childbirth experience and to assess midwives’ attitudes to waterbirths. The first study involved a RCT with a ‘preference arm’. Eighty women were recruited: 60 in the RCT and 20 in the ‘preference arm’. Women were asked to complete questionnaires to assess their expectations for, and satisfaction with, their childbirth experience: at recruitment, after the birth and 6 weeks after the birth. Women in the randomised arm indicated willingness to partake but questioned midwives’ commitment to offering waterbirths. A Q Methodology study was undertaken to identify factors which influence midwives’ (n=31) attitudes towards waterbirths. Four factors were identified: Motivation, Risk Assessment, Confidence, Safety. Conclusion: It is feasible to organise a larger RCT to assess neonatal safety and women would be supportive. Strategies would be required to ensure midwives are confident and supportive of the waterbirth service.

Abstract:
Factorial randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluate two or more interventions simultaneously, enabling assessment of interactions between treatments. This thesis presents literature reviews, methodological reviews, simulation studies and applied case studies that explore methods for assessing cost-effectiveness based on factorial RCTs. My systematic review suggests that factorial RCTs account for around 3% of trial-based economic evaluations, although there is currently no guidance or methodological work indicating the most appropriate methods. Around 40% of published studies assumed no interaction between treatments and many were poorly-reported. Various mechanisms are likely to produce large interactions within economic endpoints such as costs, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) and net benefits. Failing to take account of interactions can introduce bias and prevent efficient allocation of healthcare resources. I developed the opportunity cost of ignoring interactions as a measure of the implications of this bias. However, allowing for small, chance interactions is inefficient, potentially leading to over-investment in research if trial-based evaluations are used to inform decisions about subsequent research. Nonetheless, analyses on simulated trial data suggest that the opportunity cost of adopting a treatment that will not maximise health gains from the healthcare budget is minimised by including all interactions regardless of magnitude or statistical significance. Different approaches for conducting economic evaluations of factorial RCTs (including regression techniques, extrapolation using patient-level simulation, and considering different components of net benefit separately) are evaluated within three applied studies, including both full and partial factorials with 2x2 and 2x2x2 designs. I demonstrate that within both trial-based and model-based economic evaluation, efficient allocation of healthcare resources requires consideration of interactions between treatments, and joint decisions about interacting treatments based on incremental cost-effectiveness evaluated “inside-the-table” on a natural scale. I make recommendations for the design, analysis and reporting of factorial trial-based economic evaluations based on the results of this thesis.

Full text
Abstract:
The objective of this paper/presentation is to highlight how experimental approaches, specifically Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs), can be leveraged to evaluate and measure the impact of new programmes, support programme development and test new services in funding and innovation agencies. RCTs are seen in many facets of public policy, however RCTs as a method for innovation agencies to evaluate new initiatives is relatively new. We present three RCTs implemented in the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) that have received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The trials are implemented to evaluate the effectiveness of new measures intended to help strengthen R&I in start-ups and SMEs. Through these three examples, we aim to demonstrate the advantages in which RCTs can augment the evaluation of new services as well as challenges that come with implementing RCTs. For one RCT, we will present final results. Two RCTs are ongoing, and we will present the trial design. We also discuss the operational aspects of incorporating experimentation in an innovation agency.

Full text
Abstract:
Review question / Objective: Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been employed in arthroscopic shoulder surgery (ASS) as an alternative novel interfacial plane block. However, its analgesic efficacy is still controversial. Whether ESPB could improve analgesic efficacy in ASS is what the current meta-analysis seeks to find out. Information sources: We searched different databases including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science from inception to November 29, 2022, using medical subject headings (MeSH) and free-text terms without language restrictions. The primary purpose of searching was for the selection of RCTs for meta-analysis but also to avoid unplanned duplication and compare reported review methods from other systematic reviews. The following search terms were used for the search of each database: “arthroscopic shoulder surgery”, “shoulder surgery”, “total shoulder arthroplasty”, “shoulder arthroscopy”, and “erector spinae plane block”, “erector spinae muscle”. We also searched for grey literature by supplementary hand searching.
