A review of stepped wedge trials has shown that while use of the design has increased rapidly over recent years, there is still a significant proportion of trials that do not account for the time effect or for the intracluster correlation 6/6

Recent developments include “batched” designs (which allows clusters eg sites to come on in batches at different times) & staircase designs to minimise data collection burden 5/6
Batched:

Staircase:

The stepped wedge design can be challenging to conduct however (eg sites don’t switch as planned/drop out, the intervention can be implemented poorly etc). Detailed forward planning is needed 4/6

Karla Hemming et al wrote a useful paper describing the design and its special considerations in the BMJ 3/6

A stepped wedge design is a variant of the cluster trial that allows interventions to be evaluated as they are rolled out. Each cluster moves from control to intervention in a random sequence 2/6
The stepped wedge design came up in the #CCRDownUnder meeting last week so it seemed a good time to revisit the pros and cons of this design 1/6
