How to model pre and post treatment scores?
Instead, if you really want to model both pre- and post-treatment scores, you can use a constrained repeated measure model (time, time*group) by forcing the intercept (or difference in baseline score between two groups) equal to 0. This constrained repeated measure model performs comparably to ANCOVA model.
How are mixed models used in repeated measures?
Mixed Models – Repeated Measures Introduction This specialized Mixed Models procedure analyzes results from repeated measures designs in which the outcome (response) is continuous and measured at fixed time points. The procedure uses the standard mixed model calculation engine to perform all calculations.
How to analyze PRE-POST data with repeated measures?
Analyzing Pre-Post Data with Repeated Measures or ANCOVA. In ANCOVA, the dependent variable is the post-test measure. The pre-test measure is not an outcome, but a covariate. This model assesses the differences in the post-test means after accounting for pre-test values.

What happens if data are missing in a pre-post study?
If the data are missing at random, this will give you unbiased estimates of each of these means. But most of the time in Pre-Post studies, the interest is in the change from pre to post across groups. The difference in means from pre to post will be calculated based on the estimates at each time point.
Why are post treatment scores and baseline scores the same?
Eventually two methods will estimate the same thing- difference in mean post-treatment scores between two groups, because the baseline mean scores are equal under randomization.
Why are post test results different from pretest data?
One is to make sure that any post-test differences truly result from the treatment, and aren’t some left-over effect of (usually random) pre-test differences between the groups. The other is to account for variation around the post-test means that comes from the variation in where the patients started at pretest.
