ISPOR is coming to Canada this year, taking place in Montreal, May 5th to 8th. Broadstreet is pleased to be involved in six studies being presented on subjects ranging from the clinical impact of discontinuation of sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes mellitus to the potential for using surrogate endpoints for overall survival among patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
We are delighted to be presenting some of our own research exploring synthesis and reporting guidelines for topics where a formal meta-analysis would be inappropriate. The work identifying gaps and proposing strategies to address them with respect to synthesizing data from natural history and burden of illness studies served to inform the development of an observational study evidence synthesis and reporting checklist. In literature reviews of observational data, it can be difficult to anticipate the breadth and heterogeneity of data that will be identified. Our proposed checklist will help standardize reporting on a the sorts of wider evidence bases which are valuable in understanding drivers of heterogeneity in observational study data.
The poster about this project, titled “Drivers of Variability Exploration (DiVE!): A Review to Inform A Proposed Observational Study Evidence Synthesis and Reporting Checklist” will be viewable during poster session 5 on Friday, May 16th.
