Repeated measures:
Approaches to Analysis
Peter T. Donnan
Professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics
Objectives of session
• Understand what is meant by
repeated measures
• Be able to set out data in required
format
• Carry out mixed model analyses
with continuous outcome in SPSS
• Interpret the output
Repeated Measures
Repeated Measures arise when:
• In trials where baseline and several
measurement of primary outcome
• Example - Trial of Chronic
Rhinosinusitis
• Treatment usual care vs 2 weeks oral
steroids
• Measurements at 0, 2 , 10, 28 weeks
General Principles
Battery of methods to analyse Repeated
Measures:
• Repeated use of significance testing at
multiple time points
• ANOVA ‘a dangerously wrong method’ - David Finney
• MANOVA
• Multi-level models / mixed models
Significance testing at
all time points
• Probably most common – multiple t-tests
• Least valid!
• Sometimes account for multiple testing by
•
•
•
adjusting p-value i.e. 0.05/k with k tests
Assumes that aim of study is to show
significant difference at every time point
Most studies aim to show OVERALL
difference between treatments and /or
reaching therapeutic target quicker
PRIMARY HYPOTHESIS IS GLOBAL
Repeated Measures:
Summary Measures
• Post treatment means
• Mean change (post – baseline)
• ANCOVA or Multiple regression account for
•
•
•
•
baseline as covariate
Slope of change
Maximum value – with multiple endpoints
select highest value and compare across
treatments
Area under the curve – difference
Time to reach a target or peak
Type of Analyses –
Compare Slopes

Simple approach
• Basically just an extension of
analysis of variance (ANOVA)
• Pairing or matching of
measurements on same unit needs
to be taken into account
• Method is General Linear Model
for continuous measures and
adjusts tests for correlation
Simple approach
• But simple approach can only use
COMPLETE CASE analysis where
say wk 0 50, wk 2 47, wk10 36,
wk 28 30
• Then analysis is on 30
• Assumes data is MCAR
• Better approach is MIXED
MODEL which only assumes MAR
and uses all data
Organisation of data
(Simple Approach)
Generally each unit in one row and repeated
measures in separate columns

Repeated Measures:
Conclusion
• Energy intake significantly higher
with insulin compared to all other
treatments
• Addition of palmitate removes
this effect
Organisation of data

• Mixed Model

• Hence can ONLY be used for
continuous outcomes.

Mixed Model Repeated
Measures:Conclusion
• Use of Mixed Models ensures all
data used assuming data is MAR
and so more efficient in presence
of missing data (if MAR) than the
simple repeated measures
• Other software e.g. SAS can
also handle binary outcome data
Sample size for repeated
Measures
Number in each arm =
Where r = number of post treatment measures
p = number of pre-treatment measures often 1
Frison&Pocock Stats in Med1992; 11: 1685-1704
Sample size for repeated
Measures
Number in each arm =
Where σ = between treatment variance
δ = difference in treatment means
ρ = pairwise correlation (often 0.5 – 0.7)
Sample size for repeated
Measures
Efficiency increase with number of
measurements (r)
(zα +zβ)2 = 7.84 for 5% sig and 80% power
Methods assumes compound symmetry –
often wrong but reasonable for sample size
Example: Sample size for
repeated Measures
For r = 3 post-measures, correlation=0.7, p=1,
(zα +zβ)2 = 7.84 for 5% sig. and 80% power
Say δ=0.5σ then…..
Example: Sample size for
repeated Measures
Which gives n = 19 in each arm with
80% power and 5% significance level
