Lära Statistical Analysis of Clinical Data | Clinical Data Analysis and Visualization

Descriptive statistics are foundational tools in clinical data analysis, providing a concise summary of large datasets that pharmacists encounter daily. Understanding measures such as the mean, median, and standard deviation helps you interpret trends in lab values, medication adherence, and patient outcomes. These statistics allow you to quickly assess central tendencies and variability in clinical measurements, which are crucial for making informed decisions in pharmacy practice.

# Example DataFrame: cholesterol levels (mg/dL) for a group of patients
data = {
    "PatientID": [101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107],
    "Cholesterol": [190, 210, 185, 240, 200, 195, 180]
}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

# Calculate mean, median, and standard deviation using pandas
mean_chol = df["Cholesterol"].mean()
median_chol = df["Cholesterol"].median()
std_chol = df["Cholesterol"].std()

# Calculate mean, median, and standard deviation using scipy
mean_chol_scipy = stats.tmean(df["Cholesterol"])
median_chol_scipy = np.median(df["Cholesterol"])
std_chol_scipy = stats.tstd(df["Cholesterol"])

print("Pandas calculations:")
print("Mean:", mean_chol)
print("Median:", median_chol)
print("Standard Deviation:", std_chol)

print("\nscipy calculations:")
print("Mean:", mean_chol_scipy)
print("Median:", median_chol_scipy)
print("Standard Deviation:", std_chol_scipy)

These statistics are more than just numbers—they guide your clinical judgment. For instance, the mean cholesterol level gives you an overview of the typical value in your patient population, while the median helps you understand the midpoint, which is less affected by extreme outliers. The standard deviation reveals how much individual results vary from the average, helping you identify patients at higher risk due to unusually high or low values. By interpreting these measures, you can tailor patient counseling, recommend further testing, and collaborate more effectively with healthcare teams.
