The design of embedded pragmatic clinical trials: methodological developments and statistical lessons learned from the first cycle of the NIA IMPACT collaboratory.

Early pragmatic trials in aging research reveal design lessons improving real-world evidence generation for older adult populations.

The NIA IMPACT collaboratory's first cycle yields key methodological lessons for embedded pragmatic clinical trials in ageing and dementia, addressing design, randomisation, and analysis challenges for real-world evidence generation. This record was retained from the prior triage attempt for PubMed pipeline handoff.
