About the Webinar
Multiple outcomes in clinical research lead to logical and statistical challenges. For any area of physical or psychological health, a single study might include multiple related outcomes analyzed in multiple ways, leading to multiple numerical results. Using examples from the Multiple Data Sources (MUDS) study, Dr. Evan Mayo-Wilson discusses the consequences of “multiplicity” for clinical investigators, systematic reviews and guideline developers, and clinical decision-makers. He highlights some potential solutions to these challenges, including prospective registration and core outcome sets.
