I agree with you that the chosen line plots are most suitable for this case. However, those plots are too overcrowded with too much lines (more than the optimum of 4-5 lines) so it’s hard to make people focus on what they want to illustrate. In my opinion, it would be much nicer if they just select plots from the top ten list and discard the rest.

You did a good work. I do, however, have a few things to suggest about your CRF.

The screening part is mainly about inclusion/exclusion criteria, right? There are spaces between each item and it may confuse someone whether there should be any information filled inside them (date of vaccination or other thing).

There should also be a separate…[Read more]

Date of informed consent and date of birth would be great if they are properly labelled as

______ / ______ / ______
(Date) (Month) (Year)

Without label, how would you know whether which format they intent to fill.
Take this for example

Date of birth: 05/04/1989
Is it 5th April 1989 or 4th May 1989 ??
Not all people write date in DD/MM/YYYY…[Read more]

Can you give me 1 example about the benefit of having data standards for clinical research?

Data standards in my point-of-view can be seen as if they are syntactically defined languages, making data transfer and utilisation more robust and efficient. Especially in almost every step in data management process. For example, let’s say you want to…[Read more]

To ensure data quality and integrity, the data management process should have the following process.
– Audit trial/Time stamp
– User authentication and access control level
– Edit check and logical check
– Data backup and recovery plan
Do you have experience conducting a study (or have seen other study projects)? Do those projects have impleme…

If you have a chance to go back, which steps that you should have done it to improve your project?

Our research back then, it was our first research which we designed from the beginning.

I’d like to share my past experience about data collection while I was in medical school. I was part of a research group and we conducted research with our assigned advisor, a gynaecologist.

If one 95 % confidence interval includes the null value and another excludes that value, the interval excluding the null is the more precise one.

Believe it or not, I do always believe this exact concept until now.
By the above misconception, people sometimes misunderstood that if a confidence interval (CI) includes a…[Read more]

In the world of data-driven era, big data and advancement in technology makes analysing a large quantity of data happens at a glance.

The extent to which data is identifiable depends on the number of subjects with those identifiers. In health data, we have HIPAA act which mainly focused on privacy issues. Let’s have a look at this for an obvious…[Read more]

The very first thing that came up into my mind and I believe, most of the time, when you are facing some problems which is hard to figure out is to ask! That is probably be the same as this case. However, this task can not simply done by just asking questions in a larger population. We need a systematic way to explore such problems..through…[Read more]

In order to adopt a new technology in place of the old one, you have to make sure that the new technology you are adopting will definitely help users accomplish their tasks more easier. That’s where TAM comes in to help us with. It is basically a quantitative way to measure users’ acceptance using multiple questions in a scale of 1-5 or 7 depends…[Read more]
