Observational descriptive study: case report, case series & ecological study
This document discusses different types of research designs, including observational and intervention designs. It focuses on non-intervention designs like case reports, case series, and cross-sectional studies. Case reports describe the occurrence, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of an individual patient, especially unusual cases. Case series describe aspects of a disease or treatment by following a group of patients with common characteristics. Both case reports and case series are useful for generating hypotheses but have limitations due to lack of a control group.
Risk of bias in systematic review
This document discusses assessing risk of bias during systematic reviews. It defines bias as systematic error that deviates from the truth and can lead to over or underestimating effects. Assessing bias in included studies is important because results may be consistent due to flaws. There are seven domains for assessing bias: selection, performance, detection, attrition, reporting, and other biases. Risk of bias is assessed by reviewing study methods, looking for missing information, and making judgments on pre-specified criteria about the likelihood studies were affected by bias in each domain. Tools like risk of bias tables are used to categorize judgments of low, high, or unclear risk of bias in individual studies.
Randomized Controlled Trials
This document provides an overview of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). It begins with an introduction to RCTs, describing them as the gold standard for evaluating health care technologies. It then covers key aspects of designing and conducting RCTs, including developing a protocol, selecting and randomizing study populations, manipulating variables, follow-up, assessment, types of RCTs based on design and use, and ethical considerations. RCTs aim to provide scientific evidence of causal relationships and evaluate interventions through random assignment and control groups.

Randomised controlled trials : the basics
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are considered the gold standard for evaluating interventions. An RCT involves randomly assigning participants into experimental and control groups to receive different interventions. Randomization aims to make the groups comparable to reduce bias. The control group receives either a placebo, no intervention, or the current standard of care. RCTs are more reliable than non-randomized studies because randomization balances both known and unknown factors between groups. Proper blinding of participants and investigators further reduces bias. Intention-to-treat analysis examines all participants based on their original group assignment.

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of lacosamide in treating diabetic neuropathic pain through an 18-week double-blind trial of 370 patients with doses of 200 mg/day, 400 mg/day, and 600 mg/day compared to a placebo. The 400 mg/day dose was found to significantly improve pain scores over the placebo and had the optimal balance of efficacy and side effects. Common side effects included dizziness, tremor and headache. While lacosamide showed potential for treating diabetic neuropathic pain, the study period was short and the 600 mg/day group had a high withdrawal rate due to adverse events.
Biases in epidemiology
This document discusses various types of biases that can occur in epidemiological studies. It defines bias as systematic error that results in an incorrect estimate of the association between exposure and disease. Several types of biases are described, including selection bias, information bias, and confounding. Selection bias occurs when the study population is not representative of the target population and can arise from inappropriate definitions of eligibility, sampling frames, or follow-up. Information bias results from inaccurate or missing data.
Bias in Research
Bias in research can occur at any stage from study design to publication. There are several types of bias including selection bias, information bias, and confounding bias. Selection bias occurs when the study sample is not representative of the target population. Information bias results from errors in measuring or classifying exposure and outcome variables. Confounding bias is introduced when a third variable is associated with both the exposure and outcome. Researchers should employ techniques like randomization, matching, and restriction to minimize bias.
Meta analysis.pptx
A meta-analysis is the use of statistical methods to summaries the results of the studies. Meta-analyses are conducted to assess the strength of evidence present on a disease and treatment. The results of a meta-analysis can improve precision of estimates of effect, answer questions not posed by the individual studies, settle controversies arising from apparently conflicting studies, and generate new hypotheses. In particular, the examination of heterogeneity is vital to the development of new hypotheses.
Methods of Randomization
Randomization is the process by which allocation of subjects to treatment groups is done by chance, without the ability to predict who is in what group. It is done in clinical trials. This presentation describes the methods of randmization used in clinical trials.
Systematic review
A systematic review is a structured review that pools the results of multiple studies on a topic using meta-analysis. It aims to summarize evidence from studies addressing a specific clinical question in a rigorous, unbiased manner to explain differences among studies on the same question. Systematic reviews are considered the highest level of evidence and are needed because individual studies may have biases or low statistical power to detect effects.
Observational study
An observational study observes subjects without intervening. A cohort study follows groups over time to compare outcomes based on exposure. This document defines and provides examples of cohort studies. It describes their design, strengths like establishing temporality between exposure and outcome, and ability to study multiple outcomes from one exposure. Examples include Framingham Heart Study, Swiss HIV Cohort Study, and a Danish study on psoriasis and depression.
Allocation Concealment
This document defines allocation concealment and discusses its importance in clinical trials. Allocation concealment refers to preventing investigators from knowing the next treatment assignment so they cannot influence which participants are assigned to different study arms. Inadequate allocation concealment can introduce bias and invalidate trial results. The document provides examples of how allocation concealment can be deciphered or biased and recommends methods like sequentially numbered sealed envelopes and centralized randomization to properly conceal allocations.

Chapter 25
Here are 3 potential barriers that could have caused a delay in implementing the research findings supporting the use of saline over heparin for maintaining peripheral IV catheters:
1. Lack of awareness or accessibility of the existing research evidence among clinicians. Medical research takes time to disseminate into practice.
2. Resistance to change long-standing practices without a compelling clinical practice guideline or recommendation from a major organization. The ASHP policy from 2006 helped address this.
3. Potential economic barriers if hospitals had invested in heparin products and switching to saline-only maintenance required a change in supplies and protocols. Standardizing on the lower cost saline may have faced resistance.

evidence based periodontics
This document provides an overview of evidence-based periodontics. It discusses the need for evidence-based decision making to reduce variations in clinical practice. The advantages of an evidence-based approach are that it is objective, scientifically sound, patient-focused, and incorporates clinical expertise. The process of evidence-based decision making involves framing questions, searching for and appraising evidence from various sources and levels, evaluating outcomes, and implementing decisions. Key aspects include assessing evidence critically and avoiding changes to pre-established hypotheses.
ARRIVE Guidelines
The ARRIVE guidelines were created by the National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research to improve reporting standards for preclinical studies. The guidelines provide a checklist of essential information to include in preclinical study manuscripts, such as the species, strain and characteristics of animals used, experimental methods, results with measures of precision, and implications for the 3Rs of animal research. While some items may not apply to all studies, the checklist aims to promote transparent, accurate and reproducible reporting of preclinical research.

Strobe nut presentation
- 1. STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies in Epidemiology - Nutritional Epidemiology STROBE-nut An extension of the STROBE statement The STROBE-nut consortium Lachat et al. (2016) PLoS Med. ;13(6):e1002036
- 2. In this presentation • What are research reporting guidelines and why do they matter • How to use research reporting guidelines correctly • What is STROBE • What is STROBE-nut: a STROBE extension for nutritional epidemiology • Where to find more information
- 3. Why better reporting matters http://researchwaste.net • Poor reporting is a major source of research waste • Published trial reports: 40–89% were non-replicable1 • Most studies had at least one primary outcome changed, introduced, or omitted from the protocol1 • Research papers are incomplete • Authors may not know what essential information to include • Reviewers/editors may not know what should be included • Consequence • Incorrect interpretation of findings • Loss of studies and information 1 Glasziou et al. 2014.. The Lancet, 383, 267-276
- 4. EQUATOR: “ Research reports should present sufficient information to allow a full evaluation of the presented data and further use of these findings ” Reporting guidelines: lessons for journal editors from the EQUATOR Network Presentation Altman EQUATOR 2014
- 5. What are reporting guidelines? • Tools for authors, reviewers and editors to ensure completeness and transparency of manuscripts • Contain items to be reported • Organized mainly – As a checklist, explicit text, a flow diagram or a combination – Following the structure of a research paper (Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusion) • Examples: CONSORT, PRISMA, SPIRIT 2Turner et al. 2012. Systematic Reviews, 1. evidence shows that use of reporting guidelines influenced reporting quality of reporting of randomized controlled trials2
- 6. What are reporting guidelines Not • A straitjacket for research papers – Restrictions in writing style, creativity or clarity of papers – Instructions that interfere with the editorial or review process • Quality appraisal tools for studies
- 7. STROBE-statement • STROBE: STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies • Evidence-based, minimum set of recommendations for reporting of observational studies. • A set of 22 items to report cohort studies, case-control studies and cross-sectional studies. • STROBE-extensions • STROBE-extensions: provide guidance for specific areas e.g. – STREGA: Genetic Associations – STOBE-ME: Molecular Epidemiology – STROME-ID: Infectious Diseases – …
- 8. Nutritional epidemiology • Assess the diet-disease relationship in humans • Nutritional epidemiology is one of the younger disciplines in epidemiology • Indications that reporting is problematic – E.g. 13 of the 17 literature reviews for the 5th revision of the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations report a lack of methodological details causing lower quality rating or exclusion of papers.3 3Nordic Council of Ministers (2014)
- 9. STROBE-nut • An extension of the STROBE- statement for nutritional epidemiology and dietary assessment • Checklist of 24 recommendations • Use checklist together with – STROBE-nut paper – STROBE- nut explanation and elaboration document (under preparation) – Other STROBE extensions e.g. STROBE-ME – The STROBE explanation & elaboration document
- 10. Method • Start 2014 • Collaboration between 4 research groups • Input from 3 Delphi rounds with 53 external experts • Consensus through 3 face-to-face meetings
- 19. Get involved • Reporting guidelines rely on their usefulness for users • Continuous & interactive process to improve recommendations • Submit feedback, comments, and new evidence on the STROBE nut website www.strobe-nut.org or Carl.lachat@ugent.be
- 20. Resources • www.strobe-nut.org • Equator network : • Research waste • Downloads • Updates and translations.. • User comments
