Course objectives
The course is oriented on practical basics of data analysis and information technologies application in medicine. Highlighted topics are related to management of data of clinical trials and data storage in hospitals. The data analysis presented during the lectures goes from the descriptive statistics through principles of statistical testing, selected statistical tests for continuous and categorical data to basics of regression modeling and power analysis. All methods are presented using practical examples and common software (Statistica for Windows, SPSS). The subject provides basic knowledge a skills about computer's network. Main objectives can be summarized as follows: to understand the network terminology; to connect personal computer to Internet; to use network services; to reduce risk of lost of data or secret information.
Learning outcomes
The student is able to perform data analysis and data management of clinical trials.

  • A. Data analysis 1. Basic principles of statistical analysis. Probability in presentation of analysis results. Basics of experimental design and hypothesis testing.; Nominal, ordinal and continuous data in clinical research and their visualization. Special characteristics of clinical data and their subsequences for analysis. Description of data, descriptive statistic, distribution. Calibration, prognosis, models.; 2. Statistical distributions and their usage as model distribution (normal, log-normal, binomial, Poisson, Student, F, Chi square); Confidence intervals, estimation of statistical parameters and their presentation. Estimation of arithmetic mean, geometric mean, median and variability. Statistical summary of discrete and continuous data. 3. Univariate analysis of continuous data. One-sample and two-sample test.
