Working under short timescales to deliver a national trial: a case study of the ComFluCOV trial from a statistician ’s perspective
ConclusionThe statistical methodologies implemented in ComFluCOV helped to deliver the study in the timescale set. Working in a new clinical area to tight timescales was challenging. Having two statisticians working together on the study provided a quality assurance process that enabled analyses to be completed efficiently and ensured data were interpreted correctly. Processes developed could be applied to other studies to maximise quality, reduce the risk of errors, and overall provide enhanced validation methods.Trial registrationISRCTN14391248, registered on 30 March 2021 (Source: Trials)

Pragmatic randomized controlled trials: strengthening the concept through a robust international collaborative network: PRIME-9 —Pragmatic Research and Innovation through Multinational Experimentation
AbstractIn an era focused on value-based healthcare, the quality of healthcare and resource allocation should be underpinned by empirical evidence. Pragmatic clinical trials (pRCTs) are essential in this endeavor, providing randomized controlled trial (RCT) insights that encapsulate real-world effects of interventions. The rising popularity of pRCTs can be attributed to their ability to mirror real-world practices, accommodate larger sample sizes, and provide cost advantages over traditional RCTs. By harmonizing efficacy with effectiveness, pRCTs assist decision-makers in prioritizing interventions that have a substantial ...
