Bios core

Mission

 

The purpose of the CFAR Biostatistics Core is to accelerate successful HIV/AIDS research by direct provision of biostatistical support and by arranging mutually beneficial collaborations between CFAR researchers and statistical scientists.

We provide biostatistical support that is readily available to CFAR investigators and to other CFAR Cores. In addition to making strategic contributions to the CFAR’s scientific dialog, we provide statistical consulting services that range from brief professional consultations to invention of new statistical methods. We collaborate on the framing of hypotheses and on the development of study designs, grant applications, journal articles and presentations, selection of statistical methods, performance of statistical computations and interpretive analyses, and research database management consultation and support.

The Biostatistics Core brings together CFAR investigators and professional biostatisticians who possess specialized expertise needed for CFAR research projects. We promote opportunities for faculty and students in the statistical sciences at UNC to participate in HIV/AIDS-related research and become members of the CFAR. The participating faculty of the Biostatistics Department forms an important component of the Biostatistics Core.

We also promote training opportunities for CFAR investigators who are interested in the application of best statistical methods, and provide training opportunities for students and fellows who are assisting in AIDS-related studies. We recommend that investigators contact the Biostatistics Core in the earliest stage of new research efforts and well in advance of deadlines for grant applications, abstract submissions and protocol development.

Please contact the CFAR Biostatistics Core with new requests by e-mailing us at CFARbios@bios.unc.edu.

Brief Statistical Safety Checklist

Statistical Checklist

Purpose:

This checklist is designed to help review draft manuscripts, statistical reports, or analysis plans

Methods:

-Objective / hypotheses of the study are clearly stated

-Endpoints are defined, declare endpoints as primary, secondary, and exploratory as appropriate

-Exposures and covariates are defined

-Sample size calculation is explained (if applicable)

-If applicable, randomization and blinding process are explained

-If applicable, interim stopping guidelines are described

-All statistical methods are described (with references as needed)

-Methodological assumptions were reasonably met

-Reasonable considerations were made for:

-missing data or attrition (e.g. loss to follow-up)

-multiple testing or multiple comparisons

-correlation among observations (e.g. longitudinal or clustered data)

-small sample sizes (e.g. n<30)

-Statistical software and version used are stated (e.g. SAS version 9.3, Cary, North Carolina)

-Statistical type I error probability is declared (e.g. two-sided alpha of 0.05)

-Clinical trials: trial registration ID included (www.clinicaltrials.gov)

Results (including text, tables, figures):

-Number of decimal places reported appropriately reflects measurement precision

-Summaries of variability/spread are provided (e.g. SD, IQR)

-Sample sizes are provided (n=) and missing data are declared when applicable

-Each p-value is accompanied by a graphical display of data and descriptive statistics. Estimation with precision quantified (e.g., 95% confidence interval) is preferred.

-If reporting p-values, report specific p-values (p=0.027), rather than p<0.05

-Use of the word significant should be avoided

-Figures are clearly explained by a legend and all axes and symbols are appropriately labeled

-Distorted effect sizes (e.g. by truncation of y-axis) are clearly labeled and justified

-Units of measurement are stated

Discussion:

-Discussion conclusions are in agreement with results

-Limitations of the study design or analytic approach are appropriately stated

For more guidance, refer to standard reporting guidelines (e.g. CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA, STARD) and the ASA p-value statement (and published updates thereof)
