Join Sara for a free one-hour seminar on Multi-State Models at Karolinska Institutet

We are pleased to announce that Dr Sara Ekberg, Principal Biostatistician at Red Door Analytics, will be leading a free, one-hour seminar on Multi-State Models as part of the CBB Biostatistical Seminar Series at Karolinska Institute. Multi-State Models are one of our specialist subjects. Please reach out if you are interested in incorporating Multi-State Models into your research.

Sara is a Principal Biostatistician at Red Door Analytics with over 10 years of experience in register-based research. Her talk will introduce multi-state modeling, a method that expands traditional survival analysis by exploring patient transitions between different health states over time.

Abstract

In this talk, Sara will provide an overview of multi-state modelling, illustrating how it can offer valuable insights into disease progression. Key concepts, practical applications, and methodology will be discussed, making this seminar relevant for both newcomers and experienced researchers.

Date: April 3rd
Time: 12:00-13:00 CEST
Location: Zoom or in person at Gene, Neo, Blickagången 16, Huddinge, Sweden
Cost: Free

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about cutting-edge techniques in biostatistics! Stay tuned for location details, and be sure to mark your calendars.

New Publication in BMC Medical Research Methodology

In our latest publication, we developed a new methodological approach to obtain fair comparisons of survival probabilities (and differences thereof) across study clusters such as hospitals, regions or other hierarchical units. The proposed approach combines posterior prediction of the random effects with regression standardisation to account for differences in the case-mix distribution between the clusters. […]

New Publication in Drug Discovery Today

Check out the latest position piece published in Drug Discovery Today on the use of open-source software in the pharmaceutical industry—a topic of growing importance as the sector undergoes a major transformation in how statistical analyses are conducted and validated. As part of his work at Red Door Analytics, Dr Alessandro Gasparini contributed to this publication […]

New Publication in the Journal of the American Heart Association

In our latest publication, we used Medicare administrative data to examine the relationship between neighbourhood deprivation and survival outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The results showed that while patients from less deprived neighbourhoods consistently had better survival rates compared to those from highly deprived areas, this survival advantage varied significantly across racial and […]

New Publication in the European Heart Journal

In our latest publication we used Swedish register data to examine familial aggregation of congenital heart defects (CHD) across kinships and generations. The authors found clear dose-response patterns between CHD risk and the number of affected relatives. Recurrence patterns varied by kinship type and degree of genetic relatedness, with the strongest associations observed among mothers, […]

New Publication in The International Journal of Cancer

In our latest publication, we used Swedish register data to investigate how the timing of disease progression affects survival in patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). MCL is an aggressive form of lymphoma characterized by frequent relapses, making it crucial to understand the long-term impact of disease progression on patient outcomes. The current study includes […]

New Publication in Leukemia

In our latest publication, we investigated infection risk in individuals with smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) using data from the iStopMM study in Iceland. SMM is an asymptomatic precursor condition to multiple myeloma, affecting approximately 0.5% of people over 40 years old (Thorsteinsdóttir et al., 2023). This study includes 188 individuals with SMM from a screened […]

RDA relaunches YouTube Channel with Free Survival Analysis Course

We’re thrilled to announce that Red Door Analytics is back on YouTube! Our relaunched channel will feature free educational content for data professionals and researchers. First out is a comprehensive introductory course on survival analysis, consisting of 13 lectures and 4 practicals covering: Introduction to survival data Parametric survival models Cox’s proportional hazards model Modelling […]

New Publication in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases

We are excited to share our latest work on prediction models for assessing deceased donor kidneys, which was recently published open access in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases. This paper was co-authored by our Principal Biostatistician Dr Alessandro Gasparini and our CEO and Director of Statistical Methodology Dr Michael Crowther. The Kidney Donor Profile […]

Join Us at the Nordic Life Science Days 2025

Meet us at this year’s annual Nordic Life Science Days (NLSDays) in Gothenburg between October 13-14, 2025. The NLSDays are the largest partnering event for the life science industry in the Nordics. This year, both Tommy Pedersen, our Director of Applied Biostatistics, and Dr Sara Ekberg, one of our Principal Biostatisticians, will be on site […]

Meet us at ISPOR EU 2025

Meet us at this year’s annual conference of The Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) in Europe held in Glasgow between November 9-12. Our CEO and Director of Statistical Methodology, Dr Michael Crowther, will be presenting a poster on our project Flexible parametric inference for cause-specific hazard competing risks models under interval […]

New Publication in the British Journal of Dermatology

In our latest publication, we used Swedish register data to investigate real-world outcomes in patients with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome. These are two types of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, a very rare group of malignancies that affect approximately 8 in 1 million people each year—making this a particularly challenging disease to study (Cai et al., […]

Check out the latest Posit interview featuring Alessandro

We are excited to share that Dr Alessandro Gasparini, co-chair of the openstatsware working group, has been featured in the latest Posit blog post. In their interview, he and the other co-chairs of the working group take us behind the scenes of building high-quality, open-source statistical software for biostatistics, and shares why this work matters.
