| Abstract: |
The Mayo Clinic is the first and largest integrated, not-for-profit group
practice in the world. It comprises nearly 2.500 physicians and 42.000 other
health related staff. The main Mayo Clinic campus is located in Rochester,
Minnesota, and provides a large portion of the health care to the surrounding
communities. One of the lesser known treasures of the Mayo Clinic is the
ability to conduct population-based research for Olmsted County in collaboration
with all other health providers in the area.
I will describe the role in the research process of the approximately
150 statisticians working at Mayo Clinic. Topics addressed will include
- study design,
- study logistics,
- assessment of outcomes,
- statistical analyses, and
- the statistician's role in publication.
As an example, I will use my recent experiences on The Mayo Clinic Study
of Oophorectomy and Aging to illustrate the many facets of research. I
will give special attention to the topics of epidemiology and study design,
as all other aspects of a study are dictated by these topics. I emphasize
a very informal atmosphere, and invite all attendees to openly ask questions.
