Objective The BOIN12 design was improved based on conditional weighted likelihood method to solve the optimal dose exploration in the case of delayed toxicity and efficacy of drugs.Methods The conditional weighted likelihood method was used to estimate the toxicity rate and conditional efficacy rate.The improved BOIN12 design was compared with other phase Ⅰ-Ⅱ design through simulation to evaluate its performance.Results Simulation results show that the improved design still has excellent statistical performance in different scenarios and the trial duration is greatly shortened.Conclusion The improved design can addresses both toxicity and efficacy delays in phase Ⅰ-Ⅱ trials.
3.Simulation of Subgroup Analysis Methods with Longitudinal Data Containing Measurement Errors and Missingness
Chinese Journal of Health Statistics 2024;41(1):12-17
Objective To develop a subgroup analysis method that can simultaneously deal with longitudinal data containing measurement errors and dropouts.Methods Subgroup analysis was carried out based on a threshold regression model.A new generalized unbiased estimation equation is constructed by using the independence between repeated measurements to deal with measurement errors and introducing an inverse probability weighting matrix to deal with missing response.Results The computer stochastic simulation shows that the proposed estimation method is effective in dealing with measurement errors and dropouts,and has smaller bias and mean square error than the generalized estimation equation method without correcting measurement errors or dropouts.Conclusion In subgroup analysis,when there are measurement errors in covariables and missing values in response variables,it is usually necessary to deal with the measurement errors and missing values in order to obtain reliable parameter estimation.

Objective The continuous and discrete Bayesian network models of serum uric acid and related metabolic indexes were established to explore the influencing factors of serum uric acid and compare the characteristics and advantages of the results of the two networks.Methods A total of 4646 patients with serum uric acid and metabolic diseases from chronic disease monitoring in Shanxi Province in 2015 were selected.IPCB algorithm was used to establish a continuous Bayesian network of serum uric acid.Meanwhile,the above indicators were discretized,and MMHC was used to establish a discrete Bayesian network of high uric acid.Results The discrete Bayesian network found 14 edges,in which triglyceride and diastolic blood pressure abnormalities were directly related to the occurrence of high uric acid,leading to the occurrence of high uric acid.Age was an indirect factor;Age,TG,LDL,HDL,SP and DP are directly related to uric acid level.With the increase of age,TG and LDL and the decrease of HDL,uric acid level increases,while the increase of uric acid level leads to the increase of SP and DP.TC is indirectly related to uric acid.Conclusion The two network models adapt to different data types,but the continuous Bayesian network has more direct correlation factors and better overall explanatory degree.

Objective To compare the existing evaluation methods of sample's representativeness and provide reference for selection of sample representativeness evaluation methods in clinical research.Methods Simulate the target population of lung cancer patients and select samples with different sample sizes and different degrees of deviation based on the distribution of traits of lung cancer patients in China and the actual situation of sample screening in domestic clinical studies.Calculate sample representativeness using the existing evaluation methods of sample's representativeness,and calculate estimation deviation(bias).By constructing the correlation model between the measured value of each method and bias,analyze the accuracy and stability of each method.Results The overall structural variance rate RV1、RV2、C-statistic based on propensity score、SGCR and K-S distance could well measure the degrees of deviation of different samples.Under different sample sizes,the R2 of RV2 and RV1 are greater than 0.90,and R2 of C-Statistic、SGCR and K-S distance were greater than 0.80.Conclusion The overall structural variance rate is more accurate and stable because the traits weight is taken into account.In particular,RV2 can better measure the representativeness of samples with different degrees of deviation and accurately reflect the estimation deviation.However,when it is difficult to obtain the feature importance information,the reliability of the representative measurement of SGCR as well as C-statistic and K-S distance used the propensity score-based method are acceptable.
