Methods for dealing with unequal cluster sizes in cluster randomized trials: A scoping review.
In a cluster-randomized trial (CRT), the number of participants enrolled often varies across clusters. This variation should be considered during both trial design and data analysis to ensure statistical performance goals are achieved. Most methodological literature on the CRT design has assumed equ...
