In order to stimulate academic sharing and social connection among members of the RSA Society we iniate a series of 1-hour online meetings where RSA research groups take turns presenting / sharing on different topics followed by a discussion.

Our next presenter will be: Robin Christensen, Professor of Biostatistics and Clinical Epidemiology, PhD, MSc, BSc, Section for Biostatistics and Evidence-based Research, The Parker Institute

1 Hour lecture on stastical methods and reporting in biomedical research followed by 30 minutes of discussion. Please be prepared, suggested reading material: https://actaorthop.org/actao/article/view/11656, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34596980/ . The meeting will not be recorded. Transparent, reproducible, and causally interpretable research demands more than statistical significance—it requires structured reporting, meaningful estimation, and clarity of purpose. This lecture builds on three seminal contributions that together form a modern framework for trustworthy biomedical inference: Altman’s advocacy for estimation and confidence intervals over dichotomous P-values, Hernán’s concept of target-trial emulation to strengthen causal inference from observational data, and Christensen et al.’s Acta Orthopaedica guidelines promoting statistical integrity through pre-specification, reporting standards, and estimand-driven design. Together we explore how these principles integrate into contemporary trial and registry research —shifting focus from “is it significant?” to “what is the effect, with what certainty, and for whom?”

We very much look forward to your participation!
