A practical application for the efficient use of historical data in randomized controlled design using systematic review data.
Randomized controlled trials are the gold standard for evaluating interventions but are resource-intensive and impose considerable burden on participants. Historical control designs, which incorporate data from previous trials into new analyses, could reduce sample size requirements, but their practical application is limited.
