Abstract

In a randomized clinical trial (RCT), analysis of different data sets of the same clinical trial may change the meaningfulness of the difference between the study groups depending on which data sets are compared. Possible data sets are intention to treat (ITT), per protocol or on treatment (PP), as treated (AT).The specific conditions that may cause the greatest likelihood of affecting the outcome, depending on the choice of data sets compared should be further investigated.

Keywords: Randomized; Trial; Meaning; RCT; ITT; PP; AT
