Abstract
- Longitudinal clinical trials for which recurrent events endpoints are of interest are commonly subject to missing event data. Primary analyses in such trials are often performed assuming events are missing at random, and sensitivity analyses are necessary to assess robustness of primary analysis conclusions to missing data assumptions. Control‐based imputation is an attractive approach in superiority trials for imposing conservative assumptions on how data may be missing not at random. A popular approach to implementing control‐based assumptions for recurrent events is multiple imputation (MI), but Rubin's variance estimator is often biased for the true sampling variability of the point estimator in the control‐based setting. We propose distributional imputation (DI) with corresponding wild bootstrap variance estimation procedure for control‐based sensitivity analyses of recurrent events. We apply control‐based DI to a type I diabetes trial. In the application and simulation studies, DI produced more reasonable standard error estimates than MI with Rubin's combining rules in control‐based sensitivity analyses of recurrent events.
