Association is not necessarily a causation
RCTs are thought of as "gold standard" for a good reason.
"Randomisation" eliminates influences of confounders.
- allows "causality" inference.
@AriErcole RCTs require relatively little prior knowledge.
But
"DO WE HAVE ASSURANCE OF THIS" ?
we try to "by having a inclusion criteria"
🧐 we can only control what we know

RCTs have limitations - dont really imply causality absolutely.

Now Harm-Jan De Grooth "Understanding Bayesian Analysis"

- more specifically "Bayesian Trial analysis"
@ESICM #datascience #ai #ml #icudata #bayesian
@ESICM Trials are now using Bayesian analysis or at least in secondary analysis.

But also NEJM IL-6 in covid - purely bayesian analysis.

@ESICM
we assume "large effect sizes" in ICU trials
@Lennie333 @ESICM this is because otherwise we will need large "n" and long time for trials.

e.g., anti-hypertensives - you dont want to test one drug at one dose. you want to test a range of doses and a range of duration.

third-thing : we struggle to find a end-point especially in critical care
@Lennie333 @ESICM huge effort doing RCT but we use "mortality" yes/no as a very binary endpoint. For patient, length of stay, quality of life after d/c important end points beyond survival.

in RCT, we cant learn whilst the trials are still running. in classic RCT.
