Biostatistical

生物统计核心的总体目的是为中西部性传播疾病临床研究中心的项目和研究人员在研究设计、数据输入和管理、统计分析和成果展示等领域提供支持。此外，核心将在需要时寻求开发新的统计方法。 除了管理专门为这些项目收集的数据外，核心还将提取和合并钟花性传播疾病诊所数据库、印第安纳大学衣原体实验室数据库、马里恩县卫生局实验室数据库和Regenstrief医疗记录系统所需的数据。核心的存在也确保了任何不可预见的统计分析或设计问题都会立即引起具有这些领域专门知识的专业人员的注意。关于每个项目的具体方法和统计分析的详细情况见个别提案。

The overall purpose of the Biostatistics Core is to provide support in the areas of research design, data entry and management, statistical analysis, and presentation of results for projects and researchers in the Midwest Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinical Research Center. In addition, the Core will seek to develop new statistical methodology as the need arises. In addition to managing data collected specifically for these projects, the Core will also extract and merge data required from the Bell Flower Sexually Transmitted Diseases Clinic database, the IU Chlamydia Laboratory database, the Marion County Health Department Laboratory database and the Regenstrief Medical Records System. The existence of the Core also assures that any unforeseen statistical analyses or design problems will immediately be brought to the attention of professionals with expertise in these areas. Details on the specific methodologies and statistical analyses for each project appear in the individual proposals.
