Dear Allstaters
Not sure if my question is that difficult or even interesting, but would
welcome comments.
Am working on a parallel trial where a patient initially met the
inclusion criteria, consented and then was randomised to treatment.
One month later they died, and subsequently found out that they were not
eligble for inclusion. Should they be included or excluded in analyses?
Any thoughts? The order of randomistion will have been disrupted - is
that a big problem?
best wishes
