Burden of Illness (BOI) Studies

Burden of illness studies are a global standard in quantifying the impact of illness, disability or injury on a person, or the cumulative impact of these on a population. Understanding the burden of illness is often essential in identifying potential preventative measures, and where efforts should be focused to treat a disease. This allows for the most effective distribution of resources to alleviate a diseases impact on society.

Observational Studies

All healthcare systems rely on improved patient outcomes. We specialise at evaluating interventions in a real-world situation to identify their impact on patient care. Our research team is interested in whether interventions improve patient outcomes while conserving resources.

Meta Analysis

Meta-analysis is a process used to synthesise the findings of a number of independent studies into a result with a higher level of evidence. This is achieved by using statistical methods and algorithms to effectively weight data and calculate an overall effect. By examining the impact of variables in the data, the statistical power from combining data is increased and greater insights can be made.

Systematic Literature Review

Systematic literature reviews aim to collate all the available evidence for a particular research question and implement these to find the best answers, following a thorough and systematic evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of this evidence. Such a rigorous process ensures any conclusions drawn from this evidence pool are highly robust. In short, the more sensitive the methods used to yield such the evidence base for a systematic review, the richer and more accurate the conclusions made will be.
