This course familiarizes participants with the essential statistical principles clinical publications are commonly based on. Participants disentangle the reported statistics in a number of high-ranking publications from both experimental and observational medical studies. By learning to understand the statistical principles that underlie these diverse publications, participants acquire the skills to critically evaluate a wide diversity of statistical results that they may encounter in the clinical literature. At the same time, the gained statistical knowledge will aid participants to plan statistical analyses for their own future studies, to interpret the results of these analyses, and to present the statistical results in a way that is correct and convincing.

Each session typically consists of approximately one hour of lecture and one hour for assignments, both performed individually and in groups. Learning objectives:
