Oxford Health BRC colleagues are welcome to join this lunchtime seminar, organised by the NIHR Oxford BRC Statistics Hub.
The seminar is part of a series. Each seminar is 20 minutes long followed by 10 minutes of Q&A, and will be held via Microsoft Teams.
Survival analysis techniques in clinical trials – from traditional methods to multi-state Markov modelling approaches
Dr Clement Twumasi, NDM Medical Statistician
Wednesday 5th March 2025, 1:00-1:30pm
This talk explores the evolution of survival analysis techniques in clinical trials, highlighting their crucial role in medical research. We will start with traditional methods like Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox proportional hazards models, foundational tools for analysing time-to-event data. The discussion will then advance to contemporary approaches, focusing on time-homogeneous and inhomogeneous multi-state Markov models. These models offer a nuanced view of patient trajectories through different health states, providing deeper insights into disease progression and treatment efficacy. Attendees will gain a good understanding of both conventional and cutting-edge techniques for time-to-event analysis, enhancing their ability to design and interpret them in clinical trials
