A bias correction in testing treatment efficacy under informative dropout in clinical trials.

abstract：:The Log-odds ratio for 2 × 2 contingency tables is often approximated by a normal distribution with an approximated variance. Hwang and Biswas (2008) illustrated that the standard expression for the variance should be modified in the presence of correlation. They also provided an adjustment to this variance expression...
