This may be caused by unanticipated problems or by overestimation of the recruitment rate. This study is a systematic review of statistical models to predict recruitment at the design stage of clinical trials.<h4>Study design and setting</h4>The Online Resource for Recruitment research in Clinical triAls database was searched to identify articles published between 2008 and 2016. Articles published before 2008 were identified from a relevant systematic review. Google search was used to find potential methods in gray literature.<h4>Results</h4>Thirteen eligible articles were identified of which, 11 focused on stochastic approaches, one on deterministic models, and one included both stochastic and deterministic methods. Models varied considerably in the factors included and in their complexity. Key aspects included their ability to condition on time; whether they used average or center-specific recruitment rates; and assumptions around center initiation rates. Lack of flexibility of some models restricts their implementation.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Deterministic models require specification of few parameters but are likely unrealistic although easy to implement. Increasingly, stochastic models require greater parameter specification, which, along with greater complexity may be a barrier to their implementation.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":3.970291913552122,"endowment":3.970291913552122,"datacite_reuse_total":22,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"31299358","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2960525299","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"European
