recommendations! Published in 2024 at "International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry"

DOI: 10.1002/gps.6140

Abstract: The primary aim of this pragmatic stepped‐wedge cluster RCT was to determine the efficacy of a co‐designed dementia specialist training program (the PITCH program) for home care workers (HCWs) to improve their confidence and knowledge… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2025 at "Statistics in Medicine"

DOI: 10.1002/sim.70100

Abstract: Stepped‐wedge studies usually entail regular sampling of clusters over time. Yet the precision of the treatment effect estimator can sometimes be improved if the regular sampling scheme is replaced by one with preferential allocation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/sim.8451

Abstract: Stepped wedge cluster randomized trials (SW-CRTs) have become increasingly popular and are used for a variety of interventions and outcomes, often chosen for their feasibility advantages. SW-CRTs must account for time trends in the outcome… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2021 at "Statistics in medicine"

DOI: 10.1002/sim.8867

Abstract: In practice, stepped wedge trials frequently include clusters of differing sizes. However, investigations into the theoretical aspects of stepped wedge designs have, until recently, typically assumed equal numbers of subjects in each cluster and in… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2022 at "Statistics in Medicine"

DOI: 10.1002/sim.9301

Abstract: 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… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2022 at "Statistics in Medicine"

DOI: 10.1002/sim.9326

Abstract: Mixed models are commonly used to analyze stepped wedge trials (SWTs) to account for clustering and repeated measures on clusters. One critical issue researchers face is whether to include a random time effect or a… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2022 at "Statistics in Medicine"

DOI: 10.1002/sim.9438

Abstract: Stepped wedge designs are an increasingly popular variant of longitudinal cluster randomized trial designs, and roll out interventions across clusters in a randomized, but step‐wise fashion. In the standard stepped wedge design, assumptions regarding the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ahj.2016.10.026

Abstract: &NA; Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in India, and there are likely more myocardial infarctions in India than in any other country in the world. We have previously reported heterogeneous care… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "American heart journal"

DOI: 10.1016/j.ahj.2019.08.017

Abstract: The stepped-wedge (SW) cluster randomized controlled trial, in which clusters cross over in a randomized sequence from control to intervention, is ideal for the implementation and testing of complex health service interventions. In certain cases… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cmpb.2020.105514

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Stepped wedge trials (SWTs) are a type of cluster-randomized trial that are commonly used to evaluate health care interventions. Most SWT-related software packages have restrictive assumptions about the study design and correlation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinepi.2017.04.004

Abstract: OBJECTIVES Stepped-wedge design (SWD) cluster-randomized trials have traditionally been used for evaluating a single intervention. We aimed to explore design variants suitable for evaluating multiple interventions in an SWD trial. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING We… read more here.
