Title: Bayesian Approaches to Assessing the Safety of Hormone Replacement
Therapy by Combining Epidemiological and Clinical Trial Data
Speaker: Keith R. Abrams, Department of Health Sciences, University of
Leicester
Abstract:
In considering the decision of whether a pharmaceutical should be withdrawn
from clinical use or its use restricted, synthesis of evidence from a number
of heterogeneous sources is often required, and is facilitated by adopting a
Bayesian approach. A variety of possible approaches are illustrated using
evidence on the risk of developing breast cancer in women receiving Hormone
Replacement Therapy (HRT).
