Abstract

There is increasing interest in using individually linked, routinely collected healthcare systems data for randomised controlled trials (RCTs). These data enabled trials aim to reduce site and participant burden and increase efficiency of trial delivery.1 Routinely collected data have successfully been used in large big data retrospective studies for years,2 and new methodology such as target trial emulation has enabled researchers to reduce the bias inherent to retrospective data.3 This still cannot replace the traditional randomised trial design, but a hybrid approach potentially builds on the strengths of both designs.
