INTENTION-TO-TREAT ANALYSIS [1 record]

Record 1 2014-01-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Scientific Research
  • General Medicine, Hygiene and Health
DEF

An analysis in which the effects observed in the subjects of a trial are evaluated according to the intervention to which they were randomised, whether or not they received it, or whether or not they complied with the study protocol.

OBS

This type of analysis is favoured because it maintains the equivalence of the randomised groups. Also, in the evaluation of the practical effectiveness of an intervention, it mirrors the non-compliance and the treatment changes likely to occur in practice.

OBS

intention-to-treat analysis; ITT analysis: terms and definition standardized by the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Glossary English Editorial Board and the Translation Bureau.

DEF

Analyse où les effets observés chez les sujets d'un essai sont évalués selon l’intervention qui leur a été allouée au hasard, qu’ils l’aient reçue ou non, ou qu’ils aient respecté ou non le protocole de l’étude.

OBS

Ce genre d'analyse est privilégié parce qu'il maintient l'équivalence des groupes répartis par randomisation. De plus, dans l'évaluation de l’efficacité pratique d'une intervention, il reflète la non-observance et les changements de traitement susceptibles de se produire dans la pratique.

OBS

analyse selon l'intention de traiter; analyse par intention de traiter : termes et définition normalisés par l'Institut national d'excellence en santé et en services sociaux (INESSS) et le Bureau de la traduction.
