Real-world research
We design and support studies around a defined scientific or regulatory question, using primary data collection and existing data sources.
Design follows the research question
Our work includes descriptive studies and causal research.
- Prospective, retrospective and ambispective studies.
- Cross-sectional, cohort and case-control designs, and target trial emulation.
- Non-interventional and interventional formats, including pragmatic and large simple randomised trials.
Data sources and access
Sources include registries, electronic medical records, wearables and laboratory databases. Access is arranged for each project by Statandocs, the client or the centre. Data are generally provided for analysis in de-identified form. We do not offer standing access to medical datasets.
From programme to results
We provide the activities applicable to the study: documentation, approvals, operational support, data management, analysis and reporting. Outputs can include journal articles, materials for healthcare professionals and patients, systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
How we can support you
An individual document, study, project stage or complete programme. We agree source data, deliverables, timelines and responsibilities before work begins.
