    Articles and reports: 11-522-X20050019491
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Evaluating the impact of changes to services on the health status of frail elderly adults calls for longitudinal studies.

Traditional methods of repeated measures analysis are thus inappropriate since they ignore subjects with incomplete follow-up data. This leads to a considerable reduction in sample size and to biases.
