Since, with this approach, the assignment of the treatments generally must be known before the study, special methods for the analysis and dissemination of interim results are required.<br /> <br /> Related concept: [[meta-analysis]]<br /> <br /> == Reference ==<br /> http://htaglossary.net/sequential-trial</div>
