Clinical Trials: Minimizing Bias and Quality Control

Even with randomization, confounding variables can still lead to bias in clinical trials.
To minimize bias, a crucial aspect of general study designs in clinical trials is controlling for confounding variables.
The primary reason for implementing blinding in clinical trials is to prevent bias and ensure objective outcomes.
The fundamental difference between experimental and observational research in clinical trials is that experimental research involves intervention, while observational research involves observation only.
The primary purpose of Quality Control (QC) in clinical trials is to ensure the accuracy and reliability of data.
The main responsibility of Quality Assurance (QA) in clinical trials is to oversee and monitor the entire trial process to ensure compliance with regulations and standards.
The primary goal of Quality Assurance (QA) in clinical trials is to ensure the quality and integrity of the trial data.
The main focus of Quality Monitoring in clinical trials is to identify and correct any deviations from the protocol or standard operating procedures.
The essential role of Quality Control (QC) in clinical trials is to detect and correct errors in data collection and processing.
