Multilevel modelling in clinical trials
Dr Daphne Kounali, OCTRU Lead Statistician
Wednesday 9th April 2025, 1:00-1:30pm
A multilevel model is a statistical tool used to analyze data with a complex dependence structure, such as when patients are nested within hospitals or when there are multiple levels of treatment providers and geographic locations. In this seminar, I will define the different types of structures in clinical trials and discuss various applications of multilevel models, including incorporating repeated measurements, accounting for drop-out, and addressing measurement error. I will demonstrate how realistic assumptions and focusing on structure can help understand contextual effects and heterogeneity in outcomes, providing more precise estimates of treatment effects and predictions.
