Characterisation of exacerbations in non-CF Bronchiectasis to establish endpoints in measuring treatment efficacy
Bronchiectasis is characterised by chronic cough productive of mucopurulent sputum and frequent exacerbations. We have aimed to validate clinical, biochemical and microbiological endpoints to aid planning of future interventional studies. We recruited fifty-eight subjects with bronchiectasis at the …

How much compliance is enough? Examining the effect of different definitions of compliance on estimates of treatment efficacy in randomized controlled trials.
A recent solution to estimating treatment efficacy in studies with non-compliance has been the development of complier averaged causal effects (CACE) estimates. Based on principal stratification, these models classify subjects who receive an adequate amount of the treatment as potential compliers …
