SURVIVAL ANALYSIS FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH
Edinburgh
June 16th - 18th 1997
ABOUT SURVIVAL ANALYSIS:
Survival analysis is suited to the examination of data where the
outcome of interest is 'time until a specific event occurs', and where
not all individuals have been followed up until the event occurs.
The methods of survival analysis are applicable not only in studies of
patient survival, but also studies examining adverse events in clinical
trials, time to discontinuation of treatment, duration in community
care before re-hospitalisation, contraceptive and fertility studies etc.
ABOUT THE COURSE:
The course would be useful for those interpreting survival analyses,
or wishing to undertake their own analyses.
It aims to provide an understanding of these powerful and relatively new
statistical techniques. However, only limited mathematics and statistical
background will be assumed, so the course will be suitable for numerate
scientists involved in this type of research.
The course will be given by Geoff Cohen & Pamela Warner, staff of the
Medical Statistics Unit at the University of Edinburgh.
The course fee includes course notes and a text-book, and there is a
reduction for individuals from academic institutions.
OTHER COURSES OFFERED BY Medical Staistics Unit:
Clinical Trials: 11-13 June 1997
Mixed Models Analysis Using SAS: 25-27 June 1997 & 24-26 September 1997
