Overview
This Analyses of Clinical Trials, Interpretation and Communication of Trial Findings programme from the University of Birmingham provides an overview of how statistical methods are used to reach conclusions from a trial’s data, drawing examples from a variety of clinical areas, types of data and analysis methods.
Features
The focus is on understanding the principles and correct interpretation of analyses, and appropriate presentation of results, rather than the implementation of statistical methods.
A range of problems arising in the analysis of trials will be covered, including missing data, non-compliance and interaction effects, and the impact of such problems on the interpretation of results will be considered. The course will also focus on problems in the interpretation of traditional trials, and some potential solutions.
