Characteristics of subjects measured at the beginning

Reference no: EM131028497

An epidemiologist says that "randomization does not exclude confounding . . . confounding is very likely if information is collected-as it should be-on a sufficient number of baseline characteristics. . . ." Do you agree or disagree? Discuss briefly. Notes. "Baseline characteristics" are characteristics of subjects measured at the beginning of the study, i.e., just before randomization. The quote, slightly edited, is from Victora et al (2004).
