Little has been reported on strategies to ensure key covariate balance in cluster randomized trials in the nursing home setting. Facilities vary widely on key characteristics, small numbers may be randomized, and staggered enrollment is often necessary ...

ABSTRACT Background Cognitive impairment is a common non‐motor symptom in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), negatively affecting autonomy and Quality of Life (QoL). Innovative rehabilitation strategies, such as semi‐immersive virtual reality (VR) and computerized cognitive training (CCT), may offer advantages over traditional cognitive rehabilitation (TCR ...

IJMPR Didactic Paper: Weighting for Causal Inference in Mental Health Research
Objective Inverse probability weighting is a fundamental and general methodology for estimating the causal effects of exposures and interventions, but standard approaches to constructing such weights are often suboptimal.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ofatumumab in patients with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody–associated disease (MOGAD), and compare it with rituximab. Methods We conducted a single–center, observational study including 22 MOGAD patients treated with ofatumumab and 21 treated with rituximab.

The effect of dichotomization of skewed adjustment covariates in the analysis of clinical trials
Baseline imbalance in covariates associated with the primary outcome in clinical trials leads to bias in the reporting of results. Standard practice is to mitigate that bias by stratifying by those covariates in the randomization.

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are a core neuroimaging marker of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Sleep apnoea (SA) is a recognized vascular risk factor, but its associations with regional WMH burden, short‐interval WMH change and cognitive performance in population‐based cohorts remain incompletely defined. We
