To describe, explain and give practical suggestions regarding important principles and key methodological challenges in the study design, statistical analysis, and reporting of results from in vivo studies.
Pre-specifying endpoints and analysis, recognizing the common underlying assumption of statistically independent observations, performing sample size calculations, and addressing multiplicity issues are important parts of an in vivo study. A clear reporting of results and informative graphical presentations of data are other important parts.
描述、解释并针对体内研究的设计、统计分析及结果报告中的重要原则和关键方法学挑战给出实用建议。
预先确定终点和分析方法、认识到统计独立观察的共同潜在假设、进行样本量计算以及解决多重性问题是体内研究的重要组成部分。清晰地报告结果以及提供信息丰富的数据图形展示是其他重要部分。
