- Some attrition is normal and to be expected in research. But the type of attrition is important, because systematic bias can distort your findings. Attrition bias can lead to inaccurate results, because it can affect internal and/or external validity.

Nov 1, 2021 · Attrition bias is the selective dropout of some participants who systematically differ from those who remain in the study. Attrition bias is especially problematic in randomized controlled trials for medical research.
Aug 15, 2022 · Attrition is participant dropout over time in research studies. It’s also called subject mortality, but it doesn’t always refer to participants dying! Attrition bias is especially problematic in randomised controlled trials for medical research.

Mar 24, 2024 · Attrition in psychology refers to the phenomenon where participants leave a study over time, leading to attrition bias that can affect the internal and external validity of research. Attrition plays a crucial role in understanding the true impact of interventions and treatments in research studies.
Apr 4, 2006 · Attrition can introduce bias if the characteristics of people lost to follow-up differ between the randomised groups. In terms of bias, this loss is important only if the differing characteristic is correlated with the trial's outcome measures.

Oct 29, 2012 · Thus, it is important to study the effect of attrition on the generalizability of findings from long-term longitudinal studies. One of the aims of the current paper is to examine attrition from a 15-year population-based longitudinal study (TOPP study) initiated in 1993 to investigate development in children and their families.

In this article we will discuss reasons for attrition, how to calculate attrition rate, different types of attrition and why they matter, and a few strategies for preventing attrition (i.e., maximizing patient retention) in clinical trials.
Jan 21, 2013 · Our aims were to show that for continuous outcome data biased estimates of treatment effects can be obtained when no differential dropout occurs (refute myth 1); unbiased estimates of treatment effects can be obtained when differential dropout occurs (refute myth 2); and when missingness is non-random, the degree of bias depends, in part, on the...
