ANALYSIS OF THE DATA AND ITS PRESENTATION
The end result of all medical research, be it basic, epidemiological or clinical, is to produce a set of raw data. In rare cases, this raw data is ready as such to become presented in the report, however.
This is for several reasons. Usually there are much more raw data than can be included in one report, unless is will be an exhaustive monograph on some specific topic. Furthermore, as a result of your data collection, there are inevitably some results that are not important or are even irrelevant to the report in concern. This is frequently the case in epidemiological studies, where researchers use to collect much more information than they actually need for the report.
Thus, the raw data must be carefully analysed using special statistical software. Depending on the material and the statistical tests required, you might even need to use more than one statistical package for run all the analyses.
SMW Consultants is well prepared to run all the statistical tests that are needed in medical research. Indeed, these software contain many more tests, which rarely, if ever, are needed in analysing the data derived form a medical research project.
Data analysis and presentation of the results are closely interlinked. There are several optional formats of presenting the data, and you need to make a choice, which format suits bests for your data. This selection is important, because it gives the report its shape and contributes to the clarity and readability of the final report. Because statistical packages will produce the data output in the desired format, this decision must be made at the stage of data analysis. The refinement of e.g. the graphic output can be made afterwards then, using a variety of graphic software.
Equipped with all necessary software, SMW Consultants can offer you different expert services, according to your specific needs in data analysis and presentation of the results:

In addition to "conventional" type of data analysis from your study results, a variety of sophisticated cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis have become popular in evaluating the impact of some medical intervention on health economics. This is certainly true with the new drugs; to be safe and effective is not enough, it must be cost-effective as well.
The conventional statistical packages do not make such analysis, but a special software is needed. One such powerful software is TreeAge 14.0 Pro which is capable in making a wide variety of modeling (Markov-, Monte Carlo-, etc) and decision analysis (Sensitivity-, Cost-Effectiveness) needed by health economists. If your company is planning anything like this, SMW Consultants are ready to discuss about the possibilities, how to best proceed in this increasingly important area of health care.
