It discusses in depth all the essential steps you will need.
The aim of this course is to provide a refresh of your knowledge of statistics gained during medical training, increase your understanding what methodology and parameters to use in the analysis of specific research projects and clinical trials, their strengths and weaknesses, how to critically evaluate the results of the statistical analysis and how to best report on methodology and outcomes in manuscripts and presentations.
Who should attend?
Scientists and healthcare professionals involved in clinical trials with any level of experience who wish to learn more about the statistics they work with.
Lectures
- Using Statistics in Medical Writing - introduction and basic concepts:
types of variables,
levels of measurement,
descriptive statistics (mean, median, range, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, box plot, normal and non-normal distributions, parametric and nonparametric tests),
point estimates and confidence intervals (probability, standard error of the mean),
sample size calculations
- Graphical statistical analytic techniques - introduction and basic concepts:
correlation and regression analyses (r, p and the 95% CI for a correlation),
survival in clinical trials,
Kaplan-Meier graphs and analyses
Workshops
- Using Statistics in Medical Writing - case studies and exercises
- Graphical statistical analytic techniques - case studies and exercises
- Discussion
