What We Do

Design and statistics are useful tools for research and decision making. The rational use of design processes as well as the management of statistical techniques is extremely necessary for conducting research studies in all branches of knowledge and, in biological disciplines, both in basic and clinical research, they are essential. The design of a research plan and the objectivity in data analysis and information processing ensure the quality of the final product and the conclusions that the scientist communicates to his peers, making statistics one of the main working tools.

«H&B» Design and Statistics proposes an innovative vision based on the transfer, application and development of scientific-technical and statistical knowledge oriented to the optimization of the flow of information and adaptability of the communication of results in official channels of scientific relevance both national and international. The experts of «H&B» Design and Statistics work developing design strategies and applying statistical tools to solve innovative research studies while offering continuous statistical support for the proper understanding of statistics applied to different research areas.

What we offer

Statistical support by selecting the statistical test and analysis protocol that suits each study problem

Support for the systematized review and understanding of the methodology applied to published scientific manuscripts in order to capture the message conveyed in an effective way and avoiding information biases.

Support for the presentation of results and papers at all types of events (congresses, meetings, publications, theses, etc.).

Writing and Presentation of Results

The preparation of scientific and/or technical articles for presentation at congresses or scientific meetings or for refereeing and potential publication in journals in the researcher’s native or foreign language requires a perfect specialized knowledge of the area and the appropriate language in order to guarantee the quality of the product and maximize the possibilities of acceptance -without major objections- at the event or publishing editorial to which the article is to be submitted.

We specialize in the preparation and translation of scientific material in Spanish and/or English, but we have expert support to achieve optimal results in presentations in Portuguese, French, Italian or German. Thorough reading, understanding of the text in its original format and language and perfect knowledge of the jargon and technical terms that identify each of the specific areas of knowledge guarantee the effectiveness of the final product.

We know that any type of undertaking related to the research process linked to almost all areas of knowledge involves several actors who must combine knowledge and efforts to function synchronously, each in their particular competence so that the effort yields its deserved goals. By deserved goals we mean the fact that the new knowledge acquired in this process reaches the scientific community receiving the message and this is reflected in the reaffirmation or the taking of new actions or decisions to benefit the population or system of interest for which the study was planned.

The main actors in this process of knowledge acquisition are, on the one hand, the expert specialist in the topic to be investigated together with those colleagues who will observe and record the data of the relevant variables of the study, and on the other hand, the consultant specialist in methodology, design and statistics. If these necessary participants also combine their skills to elaborate a strategy, effectively analyze the data obtained, understand the scope of the observed results – not only pointing out their statistical significance but also their relevance in the field of the practical and real day-to-day – or clinical if we refer to the biomedical sciences – and communicate them with precise solvency and accuracy, the final product can be extremely attractive and successful.

Every research project must be developed from the construction of a theoretical framework. The lead researcher as well as the colleagues called to participate in the adventure of investigating a certain phenomenon, result of a process, disease, material failure, etc. must have as much information as possible about the subject to be addressed. This knowledge allows acquiring a broad perspective on the subject and provides tools that lead researchers to analyze, explain and predict what they would expect to find with the research in a reasonable and suitable way.

Biomedical Design and Statistics H&B

Based on this prior knowledge (or theoretical framework), which is the property of the experts, and the particular interest in the topic to be investigated, the research question should be defined; that is, what does the researcher want to find out. Typically, this question may refer, to name a few, to: the frequency with which a certain phenomenon occurs (disease, cure, material failure, association between potential causal factors and a given effect, etc.); what factors are involved in the occurrence of this event; effectiveness of different strategies or treatments to address it; prognostic assessment in the presence of an event; performance of different diagnostic methods; etc.

The next step is to define the variable of interest to be used to assess and quantify the magnitude of the response to our research question and also to identify which other variables may function as confounders or effect modifiers.

Consultants in Design and Statistics for Health Disciplines

The identification of these variables is vital to structure an adequate analysis of the resulting data. Those – confounding variables – are variables external to the relationship being evaluated, chronologically prior to the exposure and related to both the exposure and the response. They produce biases in the relationship of the dependent (or response) and independent (or explanatory) variables and must therefore be eliminated or «controlled» through statistical adjustments. These – effect modifiers or interaction variables – are variables that to different extents modify the intensity or direction of the relationship between the factor studied (exposure) and the response variable. Unmasking them is one of the objectives to be proposed in the context of research.

The intervention of the advisor in methodology, design, and statistics is decisive and relevant throughout the development of the research process. Its primary function is to guide anyone who intends to venture or evolve in this field, from the development of a research protocol, to the processing, interpretation, and communication of the results obtained from it.

From Design to Communication of your Results

At H&B Diseño y Estadística Biomédica we escort and help you throughout this process; from the conception of your work plan to the communication of your results.

At H&B Diseño y Estadística Biomédica we will help you develop the most appropriate research plan to answer your question.

We will guide you to formulate precise objectives related to your research; we will help you to develop a valid and reproducible study design; calculate the sample size necessary to achieve an inference that can be extrapolated to a population with similar characteristics to those admitted in your study; develop and maintain a database/spreadsheet that will help you to better store and communicate (numerically and/or graphically) the data obtained; we will support you in the interpretation of the results obtained by applying rigorous methods of descriptive and inferential statistics, avoiding biases and deviations from the objective of the protocol.

Once this process is completed, we, as consultants in methodology, design, and statistics, will help you to present the report of your work, adjusting the content of your results, the format, and style of the report to the characteristics of the event, forum, or publishing house, as well as responding to the demands of the potential reviewers of the journals where you intend to publish your findings.

Our satisfaction will be, without a doubt, to have contributed in some way to help you reach the goal you set for yourself.
