Incidence of the Bertillon and Gompertz effects on the outcome of clinical trials

Author

Listed:
  • Roehner, Bertrand M.

Abstract

The accounts of medical trials provide very detailed information about the patients’ health conditions. On the contrary, almost no vital data such as marital status or age distribution are usually given. Yet, some of these factors can have a notable impact on the overall death rate, thereby changing the outcome and conclusions of the trial. This paper focuses on two of these variables.
