Описание к видео Seminar: Kevin Wing, Paris Baptiste 'Observational studies to emulate a randomised controlled trial'

Presentation by Dr Kevin Wing from University of Glasgow, with Dr Paris Baptiste. This seminar provides an overview of the “target trial” framework, which adds an additional layer of rigour and transparency to observational studies. We discuss how emulating an existing randomised controlled trial in observational data can improve confidence in the results and generate evidence for patient groups that are typically underrepresented in trials. We also consider the challenges that remain, including residual or unknown confounders - how can research teams know that their observational study reports a “true” effect?
