To evaluate the potential effect of various pharmacological cardiovascular interventions on biomarker levels in samples from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) using a nested case-control design.
Description of Work
The work will comprise three statistical approaches:
- The predictive value of 3-6 selected biomarkers will be assessed in samples from various RCTs, adjusted for medication and stratified by intervention group.
- The change in biomarkers levels from baseline to on the average one year on treatment will be assessed.
- The treatment effect will be analysed according to biomarker levels at baseline (high vs. low)
