Outcome Measures

Exercise

Before we start, take a few minutes to write down a few examples of outcomes you have seen in clinical trials (e.g. white blood cell count, death). For each one, consider the type of data you would collect and what sort of summary measure you might use to report the results. Try to find different sorts of outcomes which require different types of numerical analysis.
