Learning objectives

The course aims to provide the theoretical and practical tools for the analysis of survival data in human populations and the associated risk factors, i.e. skills in the field of epidemiology, biostatistics and computer science applied to the analysis of biomedical data (programming syntax of a statistical software).
The course is structured in theoretical and practical lessons in the computer lab (12h) on the use of a statistical software (STATA) for the analysis of survival data. The teaching material (slides of the theoretical lessons, STATA files used for the practical lessons) is made available to the students on the e-learning web page of the course (Moodle platform).

Prerequisites and basic notions

The course requires basic knowledge of descriptive statistics, inferential statistics and probability theory. There are no preparatory courses.

Program

- General concepts of survival analysis: endpoint, survival time, survival function, hazard function.
- Univariable analysis: Kaplan-Meier estimator, median survival time, Mantel-Haenszel test.
- Multivariable analysis: Cox regression model.
