Planning stepped wedge cluster randomized trials to detect treatment effect heterogeneity

Statistics in Medicine, 2023
Stepped wedge design is a popular research design that enables a rigorous evaluation of candidate interventions by using a staggered cluster randomization strategy.

Step-Wedge Sensitometry

Radiology, 1978
An aluminum step-wedge filter placed far from the film cassette provides the constant variation of subject contrast required for quantitative sensitometry while virtually eliminating scatter radiations. Attenuation curves made with this configuration are almost exponentially linear.

Bayesian optimal stepped wedge design

Biometrical Journal, 2023
AbstractRecently, there has been a growing interest in designing cluster trials using stepped wedge design (SWD). An SWD is a type of cluster–crossover design in which clusters of individuals are randomized unidirectional from a control to an intervention at certain time points.

Optimal stepped wedge designs

Statistics & Probability Letters, 2015
Stepped wedge randomised trials are increasingly popular. Here we derive the optimal design for a fixed number of periods; this does not allocate an equal number of cluster units to each treatment sequence as might otherwise have been expected.

Electronic Sepsis Screening Among Patients Admitted to Hospital Wards: A Stepped-Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
Importance Sepsis screening is recommended among hospitalized patients but is supported by limited evidence of effectiveness. Objective To evaluate the effect of electronic sepsis screening, compared with no screening, on mortality among hospitalized ...

Power analysis for stepped wedge trials with multiple interventions

Statistics in Medicine, 2022
Stepped wedge design (SWD) trials are cluster randomized trials that feature staggered, unidirectional cross‐over between treatment conditions. Existing literature on power for SWDs focuses primarily on designs with two conditions, typically a control and an intervention condition. However, SWDs with more than one treatment condition are being proposed

Variance formulae for multiphase stepped wedge cluster randomized trial

Statistics in Medicine, 2020
AbstractIn a multiphase stepped wedge cluster randomized trial (MSW‐CRT), more than one intervention will be initiated on each sequence in a fixed order. Hence, with the MSW‐CRT design, the effect of the first intervention can be evaluated when compared to control, as well as the added‐on effects of the subsequent interventions.

Effectiveness of ferritin-guided donation intervals in whole-blood donors in the Netherlands (FIND'EM): a stepped-wedge cluster-randomised trial.

The Lancet
BACKGROUND Whole-blood donors are at increased risk for iron deficiency and anaemia. The current standard of haemoglobin monitoring is insufficient to ensure the maintenance of proper iron reserves and donor health.

Design and analysis of stepped wedge cluster randomized trials

Contemporary Clinical Trials, 2007
Cluster randomized trials (CRT) are often used to evaluate therapies or interventions in situations where individual randomization is not possible or not desirable for logistic, financial or ethical reasons. While a significant and rapidly growing body of literature exists on CRTs utilizing a "parallel" design (i.e.
