Explanation / Answer

ascertainment bias. What can be done to prevent this bias in experimental studies?

You have enrolled 400 subjects into a clinical trial, and randomized 200 into each study arm. You compare groups at baseline and become concerned when you notice that 42% of the subjects in active treatment arm and 26% in the placebo group are 65 year
