Cluster‐Randomized Trials in Emergency Care Research
ABSTRACT Objective Cluster‐randomized trials (also called group‐randomized trials) are increasingly common in emergency care research. In such trials, groups of participants are allocated to different interventions based on naturally occurring “clusters,” such as clinics, hospitals, or emergency medical services agencies. In this methodological review,
