| # Stratified randomization can accurately reflect the outcomes of the general population since influential factors are applied to stratify the entire samples and balance the samples' vital characteristics among treatment groups. For instance, applying stratified randomization to make a sample of 100 from the population can guarantee the balance of males and females in each treatment group, while using simple randomization might result in only 20 males in one group and 80 males in another group.<ref name=":0" /> | | # Stratified randomization can accurately reflect the outcomes of the general population since influential factors are applied to stratify the entire samples and balance the samples' vital characteristics among treatment groups.

− | # Stratified randomization firstly divides samples into several strata with reference to prognostic factors but there is possible that the samples are unable to be divided. In application, the significance of prognostic factors lacks strict approval in some cases, which could further result in bias. This is why the factors' potential for making effects to result should be checked before the factors are included in stratification. In some cases that the impact of factors on the outcome cannot be approved, unstratified randomization is suggested.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/041615/what-are-advantages-and-disadvantages-stratified-random-sampling.asp|title=Pros and Cons of Stratified Random Sampling|last=Murphy|first=Chris B.|date=Apr 13, 2019|website=Investopedia|language=en|access-date=2020-04-07}}</ref>

− | #分层随机试验首先参考预后因素将样本分成若干层,但有可能无法划分样本。在应用中,在某些情况下,预后因素的重要性缺乏严格的认可,这可能进一步导致偏差。这就是为什么在将因素纳入分层之前应该检查因素产生影响的潜力的原因。在某些因素对结果的影响无法得到批准(approved)的情况下,建议进行无分层随机试验。 <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/041615/what-are-advantages-and-disadvantages-stratified-random-sampling.asp|title=Pros and Cons of Stratified Random Sampling|last=Murphy|first=Chris B.|date=Apr 13, 2019|website=Investopedia|language=en|access-date=2020-04-07}}</ref>

− | # The subgroup size is taken to be of the same importance if the data available cannot represent overall subgroup population. In some applications, subgroup size is decided with reference to the amount of data available instead of scaling sample sizes to subgroup size, which would introduce bias in the effects of factors. In some cases that data needs to be stratified by variances, subgroup variances differ significantly, making each subgroup sampling size proportional to the overall subgroup population cannot be guaranteed.<ref name=":2">
