Hi everyone,
I had two questions about Intent to treat anlaysis and secondary outcomes:
When you write a hypothesis, do you include the secondary outcomes too? If yes, is it of any value since the sample size was based on the primary outcome usually. Now most of the studies have multiple number of secondary outcomes. But i haven't seen anyone elaborate on this.
Also, can we only call a study Intent to treat analysis unless we contact and post test ALL the subjects in the study. I finished an exercise study and we tested all the subjects in their assigned groups, except for the ones who dropped out and lost in contact. Can I still call my study intent to treat?
Thank you so much
Anoop
