PRO statistical analysis

There are a number of important reasons for having PRO data analyses undertaken by experts with deep understanding of PROs and psychometrics. Statistical analysis of PRO data is increasingly regulated by agencies including the FDA and EMA. This is partly because PRO data raises a number of specific statistical issues including: multiplicity, missing data, and interpretation. For this reason analysis, interpretation and reporting of PRO data benefits from involvement of specialists with knowledge of PROs and the current regulatory environment.
