- Title: Evidence-based Analysis of Longitudinal Data
- Date: Wednesday, Dec. 8th
- Time: 12pm PT/ 2pm CT/ 3pm ET

- Subject: Prospective randomized longitudinal studies are the foundation for rigorous generation of medical evidence. Increasing focus on patient-reported outcomes and serial measures of health status imply that quantitative outcomes are common primary outcomes in contemporary trials. Frequently the study design and protocol specify the collection of outcomes both at baseline and select follow-up times, with a primary analysis that often considers one key follow-up time. The goal of this talk is to review the statistical evidence that informs the selection of a primary longitudinal analysis strategy.
