Gliederung
Text
The complexity of study designs and data in biomedical research is increasing steadily, statistical-methodological challenges are growing accordingly. This emphasizes the importance of close collaboration between clinicians and academic biostatisticians to improve quality in medical research. In this invited session we will elucidate four important aspects of statistical advising, comprising our interactions with biomedical researchers, impact of advising activities on a our careers, our impact on quality of research, and about advising as important part of a biostatistician's work.
- 1.
- Matthias Briel, Basel, CH (invited speaker): Evidence-based research methods – an interdisciplinary challenge
The session will start with an overview of how interactions between academic biostatisticians and biomedical researchers can be organized, and how such interactions will improve the quality of biomedical research. In his talk Matthias Briel will then introduce research-on-research as a pre-requisite for improvements in clinical research methodology and a means to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration. He will present findings from recent empirical studies on statistical and practical issues with early stopped clinical trials for apparent benefit, harm, futility, or due to poor recruitment. - 2.
- Manuela Zucknick, Oslo, N: Biostatistical advising: a pillar in a biostatistician's career
Manuela Zucknick will talk about “Biostatistical advising: a pillar in a biostatistician's career”, where she will discuss how involvement in interdisciplinary biomedical research projects can positively impact a biostatistician's research career – just as much as biostatistics as a field is being influenced by biomedical research questions. This talk is a result of discussions during the ADVICE|2018 international conference in biostatistical advising which took place in Oslo, Norway. - 3.
- Ulrike Held, Zurich, CH: Biostatisticians' impact on quality in medical research
Ulrike Held will present an observational study, in which the impact of biostatistical advising on quality in biomedical research will be assessed. At the University of Zurich, medical research papers with biostatisticians as co-authors will be compared to a set of control papers of the same study type and from the same institution without these biostatisticians on the author list. - 4.
- Antonia Zapf, Hamburg, D: What makes a biostatistician?
Antonia Zapf will talk about the different tasks of a biostatistian, including biostatistical advising as well as statistical methodological research. Furthermore, the talk will be about how statistical research questions can arise from biomedical research projects.
