Analysis and Cost-Effectiveness Core

老龄化研究中的数据分析提出了独特的挑战，需要仔细选择和调整统计方法，因为老年人有多种合并症/药物、相互竞争的风险以及因死亡或残疾而导致的高辍学率。此外，在目前卫生保健资源有限的情况下，面对即将激增的老年美国人人数，必须考虑为恢复或维持老年人的独立性而采取的干预措施的成本效益。ACEC将为OAIC研究人员和项目以及其他加州大学洛杉矶分校的老龄研究人员在选择和进行适当的统计和经济分析方面提供重要指导。分析/成本效益核心将在研究研究设计(分析策略的选择和样本量/能力问题)、统计数据分析以及对结果的解释和准确描述方面提供分析支持，对象包括：OAIC职业发展奖获得者，OAIC支持的飞行员和发展项目，加州大学洛杉矶分校初级研究人员进行符合加州大学洛杉矶分校OAIC使命、主题和目标的研究，外部资助的符合加州大学洛杉矶分校OAIC使命、主题和目标的研究项目核心还将提供关于统计数据分析、比较有效性研究和成本效益分析的最先进方法的培训研讨会/辅导研讨会。它还将评估OAIC研究的成功临床干预措施的成本效益。最后，ACEC将在新的分析方法可用时传播用于比较有效性研究的新方法。，与其他OAIC资源核心合作，ACEC将支持外部资助的老龄研究项目，促进旨在预防老年人残疾和丧失独立性的老龄研究，确保其产品质量，并培养新的老龄研究人员和未来的领导者。

Data analysis in aging research poses distinctive challenges that require careful selection and tailoring of statistical methods, because of older adults' multiple comorbidities / medications, competing risks, and high dropout rates due to death or disability. In addition, in the current context of limited health care resources in the face of an impending surge in the number of older Americans, consideration has to be given to the cost effectiveness of interventions to restore or maintain the independence of older adults. ACEC will provide important guidance to OAIC researchers and projects, as well as other UCLA aging researchers, in the selection and conduct of appropriate statistical and economic analyses. The Analysis/Cost-Effectiveness Core will provide analytic support in research study design (selection of analytic strategy, and sample size/power issues), statistical data analysis, and interpretation and accurate description of findings, for: ¿ OAIC Career Development Awardees, ¿ OAIC supported pilots and development projects, ¿ UCLA junior researchers conducting research that meets UCLA OAIC mission, theme, and goals, ¿ Externally funded UCLA research projects that meet the UCLA OAIC mission, theme, and goals The core will also provide training workshops / tutorial seminars on state-of-the-art methods for statistical data analysis, comparative effectiveness studies, and cost effectiveness analysis. It will also assess the cost-effectiveness of successful clinical interventions studied in the OAIC Finally, the ACEC will disseminate new analytic approaches to comparative effectiveness studies, as they become available. , In collaboration with the other OAIC resource cores, ACEC will support externally funded aging research projects, promote aging research aimed at preventing disabilities and loss of independence in older ages, ensure the quality of its products, and nurture a new cohort of aging researchers and future leaders.
