Overview
Key facts
The course 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. 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.
University of Birmingham's Analyses of Clinical Trials, Interpretation and Communication of Trial Findings programme will teach you more about this topic.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Explain the rationale and main features of methods of statistical analysis used in parallel randomised controlled trials
- Recognise the need for health economic evaluations within trials and interpret the main findings of such evaluations
- Identify common problems that arise in the analysis of trials and propose appropriate solutions to minimise bias
- Critically evaluate the design and analysis of published trials and interpret the results of statistical analyses to reach justified conclusions
- Explain the principles of trial reporting and justify why certain features need to be reported; effectively present trial data, results and conclusions through oral and written communication
- Describe how trials’ results are used to inform guidelines for clinical practice and decisions about service provision
