Background
Patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), not on renal replacement therapy (RRT), may have a significant symptom burden, which may negatively impact on health related quality of life (QoL). Accordingly, proactive symptom manag... Read More about Development and validation of a symptom assessment instrument for advanced chronic kidney disease.

A comparison of statistical techniques used in the longitudinal analysis of the modified Rankin scale in stroke randomised controlled trials (2018)
Thesis
Potts, J. E. A comparison of statistical techniques used in the longitudinal analysis of the modified Rankin scale in stroke randomised controlled trials. (Thesis). Keele University. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/412318

Most analyses in stroke clinical trials assess the primary outcome at a single time point and do not consider conducting a longitudinal analysis, even when the outcome has been recorded at several time points. Efforts to improve the quality of statis...
