    Abstract An approximate likelihood approach is developed for regression analysis of censored competing-risks data. This approach models directly the cumulative incidence function, instead of the cause-specific hazard function, in terms of explanatory covariates under a proportional subdistribution hazards assumption. It uses a self-consistent iterative procedure to maximize an approximate semiparametric likelihood function, leading to an asymptotically normal and efficient estimator of the vector of regression parameters. Simulation studies demonstrate its advantages over previous methods.

    Abstract After an overview of the Food and Drugs Administration's 2012 draft guidance on enrichment strategies for clinical trials to support drug/biologic approval, we describe subsequent advances in adaptive enrichment designs in this direction. We also provide a concrete application in the enrichment design of the Diffusion and Perfusion Imaging Evaluation for Understanding Stroke Evolution 3 trial comparing a new endovascular treatment with standard of care for ischemic stroke patients.

    Abstract Several studies reported hematological abnormalities after vaccination against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We evaluated the association between COVID-19 vaccines (CoronaVac and BNT162b2) and hematological abnormalities. We conducted nested case-control and self-controlled case series analyses using the data from the Hong Kong Hospital Authority and the Department of Health, HKSAR. Outcomes of interest were thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and neutropenia. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs), incidence rate ratios (IRRs), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using conditional logistic regression. In total, 1 643 419 people received COVID-19 vaccination (738 609 CoronaVac; 904 810 BNT162b2). We identified 457 and 422 cases after CoronaVac and BNT162b2 vaccination, respectively. For CoronaVac, the incidence of thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and neutropenia was 2.51, 1.08, and 0.15 per 10 000 doses. For BNT162b2, the corresponding incidence was 1.39, 1.17, and 0.26 per 10 000 doses. The incidence per 10 000 COVID-19 cases were 1254, 2341, and 884, respectively. We only observed an increased risk of leukopenia following the second dose of BNT162b2 (aOR 1.58, 95% CI 1.24-2.02; day 0-14, IRR 2.21; 95% CI 1.59-3.08). There was no increased risk of any hematological abnormalities after CoronaVac vaccination. We observed an increased risk of leukopenia shortly after the second dose of BNT162b2. However, the incidence was much lower than the incidence following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. There was no association between CoronaVac and hematological abnormalities. The benefits of vaccination against COVID-19 still outweigh the risk of hematological abnormalities.

    Abstract This study investigates the feasibility and the preliminary efficacy of a Cognitive Stimulating Play Intervention on cognitive functions. Thirty older people with early to moderate dementia were recruited from 2 day-care centers, which were randomized into intervention and control groups. The recruitment, attendance, completion rates, and the interview with staff showed that the intervention was feasible. Analysis of covariance results showed that there was a significant difference between groups on memory storage and retrieval functions. The mean memory storage and retrieval functions were 5.92 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.83-9.91; P = .006) and 4.12 (95% CI: 0.75-7.50; P = .018) points higher than that for the control group, respectively, which contributed moderate to large effects (partial η

    Abstract One of the provisions of the health care reform legislation in 2010 was for funding pragmatic clinical trials or large observational studies for comparing the effectiveness of different approved medical treatments, involving broadly representative patient populations. After reviewing pragmatic clinical trials and the issues and challenges that have made them just a small fraction of comparative effectiveness research (CER), we focus on a recent development that uses point-of-care (POC) clinical trials to address the issue of "knowledge-action gap" in pragmatic CER trials. We give illustrative examples of POC-CER trials and describe a trial that we are currently planning to compare the effectiveness of newly approved oral anticoagulants. We also develop novel stage-wise designs of information-rich POC-CER trials under competitive budget constraints, by using recent advances in adaptive designs and other statistical methodologies.
