Patient Enrollment and Data Analysis

项目总结（见说明）： 患者入组和数据分析核心（核心B）的主要职责是为项目1-4识别和招募健康瘦对照受试者以及2型糖尿病和肥胖患者，并为犹他州大学血栓形成分子医学转化研究中心（U2 M2-TRCT）提供专业数据分析支持。一组具有血栓形成和代谢方面专业知识的研究人员 综合征将导致核心B。该核心还包括临床协调员，数据库管理员和具有统计学和生物信息学经验的研究人员。核心B将直接与核心C就从代谢综合征患者中分离人血小板进行互动，并为所有四个研究项目提供支持。通过项目3入组的患者将由核心C使用 核心描述中描述的成功方法。核心研究将利用犹他州大学转化科学临床中心（CCTS）加强患者入组和研究启动。核心B将负责输入患者数据并管理U-STAR（犹他州转化科学研究和研究登记）数据库。除了招募、登记和管理数据外，核心B 将为所有项目提供统计和生物信息学支持。统计部门将提供样本量和功效计算，协助研究设计，并分析实验数据。生物信息学部门将为U2 M2-TRCT研究人员提出的下一代RNA测序研究提供支持。这包括数据解释、统计支持和软件开发。的 核心B位于中心位置，所有U2 M2-TRCT参与者都可以随时使用核心B提供的服务，将确保达到并超过入学目标，并在计划内无缝进行数据分析。

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): The primary responsibility of the Patient Enrollment and Data Analysis Core (Core B) is to identify and recruit healthy lean control subjects as well as patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity for Projects 1-4 and provide specialized data analysis support for the University of Utah Molecular Medicine Translational Research Center in Thrombosis (U2M2-TRCT). A team of investigators with expertise in thrombosis and metabolic syndromes will lead Core B. This core also includes a clinical coordinator, database manager, and investigators with experience in statistics and bioinformatics. Core B will directly interact with Core C regarding isolation of human platelets from patients with metabolic syndromes and provide support for all four research projects. Patients enrolled through Project 3 will be identified and recruited by Core C using successful methods described in the Core description. The Core will utilize the University of Utah Clinical Center in Translational Science (CCTS) to enhance patient enrollment and study initiation. Core B will be responsible for entering patient data and management of the U-STAR (The Utah Study of Translational Science And Research Registry) database. In addition to recruiting, enrolling, and managing data, Core B will provide statistical and bioinformatics support for all of the projects. The statistics wing will provide sample size and power calculations, assist with study design, and analyze experimental data. The bioinformatics arm will provide support for the next-generation RNA-sequencing studies proposed by U2M2-TRCT investigators. This includes data interpretation, statistical support, and software development. The services provided by Core B, which is centrally located and readily available to all U2M2-TRCT participants, will ensure that enrollment goals are met and exceeded and that data analysis occurs seamlessly within the program.
