Ophthalmic study design and approaches to statistical analysis

Provided by

About the course

This course is aimed at anyone interested in ophthalmic research. You should attend if you want to know how to select a study design and statistical approach appropriate to your research question. The speakers are members of the Ophthalmic Statistics Group, a group of statisticians whose aspiration is to raise the quality of statistics in ophthalmic journals, ACTIVE, a clinical trial centre – dedicated to eye research, and the Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group. There will be sessions related to aspects of study design/conduct and data analysis as well as sessions focusing on clinical trial design and sources of bias. Statistical formulae will be kept to a minimum (unless requested) and relevance to clinical ophthalmology will be at a maximum.
