Stata in-conference workshop

Title:	Reproducibility and automated reporting in clinical trials
Presenters:	Chuck Huber, Director of Statistical Outreach Yulia Marchenko, Vice President, Statistics and Data Science
Date:	Monday, 22 May 2023
Time:	12:45–2:15 p.m. ET
Abstract:	Reproducibility of clinical trials (and scientific studies in general) has been gaining increasing attention in recent years. But what exactly is reproducibility in the context of clinical trials? How is it related to replication, repetition, and automation? When can we achieve reproducibility and to what degree? How can we incorporate reproducibility in our data analyses? And how can we produce reproducible reports such as DMC reports? We will answer these questions and more in this workshop. Finally, as an example of reproducible analyses and reporting of the results, we will go over the steps of creating an abridged version of a DMC report, following the most recent guidelines. The demonstration will use Stata, but the concepts and methodologies can be applied to other software of choice. (Temporary Stata licenses will be provided to workshop participants so that they can reproduce analyses both during and after the workshop.)
Goals:	The goal of this workshop is to define and discuss the concepts of reproducibility, replication, and automation in the context of data analysis and reporting in clinical trials. The examples will focus on the content and style of DMC reports and how to automate their creation while keeping in mind reproducibility. We will review the recent recommendations for best practices for DMC reports, including the content and style of tables and graphs. Then we will demonstrate how to automate the creation of these reports using Stata, but the presented advice and methodology can be adapted to other software as well. We will include details such as FDA software installation verification, integrated version control, extraction of data from secure databases, checking data integrity, reproducible data analysis, and the creation of tables, graphs, and final DMC reports.
Fee:	$50.00
