Lectures and seminars Concepts and design of studies of diagnostic tests
Welcome to a biostatistics seminar hosted by Clinicum Node Solna with Diego Hernan Giunta, epidemiologist at the Clinical Epidemiology Division. This seminar targets all researchers interested in developing their professional competence and skills in statistical and epidemiological methodology.
Topic this seminar
Diego is an internal medicine specialist and epidemiologist with main research interests in pharmacoepidemiology, diagnostic test and prediction. Valid diagnostic testing is a cornerstone of modern medicine daily practice, providing information and support for appropriate clinical decision making. However, some key related questions include: How good is a test to identifying a condition or disease? How can we design studies to assess the validity of diagnostic tests? In this seminar, we will cover fundamental concepts related to diagnostic tests, including their use, relevance, interpretation, potential biases, and the basic principles of designing research on diagnostic tests. We look forward to an interactive seminar with an open discussion on basic methods in this research area.
