ACCEL Tech Talk

As part of the ACCEL Tech Talk Seminar Series, Paul Kolm, Ph.D., Director of Biostatistics at MedStar Cardiovascular Research Network, MedStar Heart and Vascular Institution, speaks on “Joint Modeling of Longitudinal and Time-To-Event Data: GFR and Hospitalization” on Thursday, Feb. 1, from noon-1 p.m.

Studies that collect longitudinal data and time-to-event (survival/failure) data can analyze each separately if there is no association between the longitudinal data and the time-to-event data. However, if there is an association, then a joint analysis is necessary to avoid biased results. This study addresses whether there is a relationship between GFR measurements collected over time in CKD patients, and time to first hospitalization following a GFR value less than 60. Separate analyses are done for change in GFR over time and time to hospitalization followed by a joint analysis to assess whether there is a statistically significant relationship between the two. For more information and to RSVP, visit the Tech Talk event site.  Join in person or watch online: At Christiana Hospital, Room 8E50A (bring your brown bag); from your home or office through BlueJeans video conferencing.
