Allore joins JAMAevidence podcast to discuss latent class analysis to identify hidden clinical phenotypes

Posted on by Sonya Sutton

Heather Allore, PhD, Core Leader for the IMPACT Design and Statistics Core, recently appeared on the JAMAevidence podcast to discuss latent class analysis to identify hidden clinical phenotypes. A latent variable is an unobserved variable that investigators don’t have a construct or measure for, but believe it exists and could impact outcomes. Dr. Allore uses frailty as an example of latent variables in the discussion.

The podcast was hosted by JAMA Statistical Editor Roger Lewis, MD, PHD and is a supplement to the JAMA Guide to Statistics and Methods.

NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory and Living Textbook

Posted on by Erin Luers

The NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory aims to improve the way clinical trials are conducted by creating a new infrastructure for collaborative research with healthcare systems, ultimately ensuring that healthcare providers and patients can make decisions based on the best available clinical evidence. The Collaboratory supports the design and rapid execution of pragmatic clinical trial Demonstration Projects to address questions of major public health importance and engage healthcare delivery systems in research partnerships. The Collaboratory also provides training resources on how to design, conduct, and disseminate embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCTs).
