ADEA Masterclass, Symposia & Workshops » ADS-ADEA ASM 2017

This interactive masterclass translates commonly reported statistics into plain English.  For example: 

  • What does a hazard ratio tell us?
  • How can superiority be claimed?
  • How is a non-inferiority margin determined? 
  • How do I know which method should be used?
  • What’s the difference between efficacy and effectiveness?

Examples of what good looks like, plus common mistakes are also covered.  The aim is that you will become more confident in critically reviewing clinical papers, and gain some real-life insight into the challenges of designing and analyzing studies.
