TITLE
Registry Studies in Organ Donation and Transplantation
SPEAKER
Dave Collett (NHS Blood and Transplant)
TIME AND PLACE
Tuesday, 12 May 2015, 14:15 - 15:15
University of Bath, room 4W 1.7
DESCRIPTION
Much of the evidence used to inform the development of organ
transplantation in the UK comes from analyses of observational data that
make up a centrally maintained registry. In this talk, a brief overview of
the nature and uses of registry data will be presented, with particular
reference to the work of NHS Blood and Transplant and the UK Transplant
Registry. The use of this Registry in exploring the association between
donor smoking and lung transplant outcomes, the development of a new liver
allocation scheme, and in comparing kidney transplant outcomes from three
different countries will be described and illustrated.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Dave obtained his first degree at the University of Leicester, before going
on to complete an MSc in statistics at the University of Newcastle and a PhD
in statistics at the University of Hull.
He spent over 25 years as lecturer and senior lecturer in the Department of
Applied Statistics at the University of Reading, including 8 years as Head
of that Department. In 2003, he was appointed Associate Director of
Statistics and Clinical Studies at NHS Blood and Transplant, and is also
now the Director of the NHSBT Clinical Trials Unit. He also has a visiting
chair in the Southampton Statistical Sciences Research Institute,
University of Southampton.
Dave leads a team of close to 40 staff, who work on registry based studies
in organ donation and transplantation, clinical trials and other studies in
transfusion medicine and stem cell transplantation. He has published many
papers in peer-reviewed journals and is the author of text books on
modelling binary data and modelling survival data in medical research – a
third edition of which has recently been published.
