Session Chair(s)

Statistical attention to safety data is often times left to routine, basic calculations and tabulations. Absent statistical input, the data run the risk of being presented in ways that are unintuitive, uninformative, or in the worst case, deceptive. Speakers in this session will present examples where statisticians are collaborating with clinical colleagues and data scientists to more effectively analyze and clinically interpret safety data.
Learning Objective : Recognize the importance of statistical engagement in the assessment of clinical trial safety data; Apply appropriate statistical methods in the analysis of safety data; Identify the need to work collaboratively with clinicians and data scientists.
