Accounting for extent of non-compliance when estimating treatment effects on an ordinal outcome in randomized clinical trials by Junxian Zhu, Jialiang Li, A. Mark Richards, Mark Y. Chan, Bee-Choo Tai

“…Abstract Background In randomized clinical trials (RCTs) with non-compliance, evaluating the causal effects of interventions would lead to a more precise estimation of treatment effect when the estimand of interest is the effect of treatment amongst compliers. While there is a large body of literature addressing the issue of non-compliance for continuous, binary, and time-to-event outcomes, this issue is seldom discussed for ordinal outcomes. …”
