Essai portant sur au moins deux interventions, dans lequel les personnes admissibles sont réparties aléatoirement entre le groupe traité et le groupe témoin. 1, record 1, French, - essai%20clinique%20randomis%C3%A9
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Cette allocation aléatoire des traitements est couramment appelée randomisation («randomization»). Un essai contrôlé randomisé est donc un essai dans lequel les patients sont répartis entre le groupe contrôle et le groupe expérimental de manière aléatoire. Comme la randomisation est un processus aléatoire et que les propriétés des processus aléatoires ne sont connues qu'en moyenne sur un grand nombre de répétitions, la randomisation ne garantit la comparabilité de deux groupes qu'en moyenne. 5, record 1, French, - essai%20clinique%20randomis%C3%A9
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La répartition aléatoire des sujets permet d’utiliser de façon valable plusieurs méthodes pour comparer les résultats des interventions. 1, record 1, French, - essai%20clinique%20randomis%C3%A9
