At #CCR25, we saw some trials use a #CompositeOutcome (an endpoint that combines more than one outcome into a single measure) & also saw some of the problems these can throw up. I have discussed these before but thought it would be useful to revisit 1/9

Interested in adaptive platform trials?
INCEPT (www.incept.dk) recently got approved along with the first domain, and we expect to start inclusion soon. A protocol/design paper is available at doi.org/10.1111/aas.... along with the full protocol docs at incept.dk/documents

Good news for ICUs and patients

The Intensive Care Platform Trial - INCEPT - was approved by the regulators

INCEPT is a very broad domain based, adaptive platform trial assessing everyday interventions in ICUs

1. enrolled in first domain (albumin use vs no use in shock) in april 2025

The Intensive Care Platform Trial (INCEPT) research programme aims to prepare, initiate and run an adaptive platform trial assessing commonly used interventions in acutely ill intensive care unit (ICU) patients.

An issue that often comes up is how to set a “non-inferiority margin” in a non-inferiority trial and how to ensure it is appropriate 1/8

A Core Outcome Set for Adult General ICU Patients should include survival, free of life support, free of delirium, out of hospital, health-related quality of life, and cognitive function.
Excellent international Delphi study from Denmark

In clinical research, you will often receive feedback on study design, stats, and/or data analysis from an editor or reviewer that is simply wrong. Here is a list of common "statistical myths" and references you can use to push back.

This is a list of statistical myths and misconceptions that I keep coming back to. So many common avoidable mistakes. Should be read by all clinician researchers and all who want to critically read studies! #cardiosky #emimcc #stats
