Medical Statistics Unit

The Medical Statistics Unit (Medstat) is involved in teaching, assignments and research in the field of medical statistics.

We can help you with

At the MedStat unit you can get guidance in statistics at all stages of your research. From study design and sample size calculation to data management, choice of statistical methods and/or performing analysis, interpretation of results and help to answer reviewers. We apply the Vancouver Convention for co-authorship.

How does it work?

Every project starts with an introductory meeting where you get to meet our statistician and talk about the background, research hypothesis and data collection in your study. We then agree on what should be done, a preliminary time plan and costs. Usually you will not have to wait more than a couple of weeks after the first contact for the introductory meeting to take place, however the waiting time may vary over the year. The fee for statistical consultation is 1100 SEK/hour.
