Common Pitfalls in research day 8 Oct 2024

What are the serious pitfalls in this research ?

Regarding coherence, what is the most OUTLIER ?

• Background

• Research question

• Sample size

• Outcome & analysis

what is the MOST SEVERE violation of IRB rules ?

• Pilot reading film outside the database

• Pilot reading medical record outside the database

• Collecting no of pts before IRB permission

• Collecting name & HN before IRB permission

What would be the best question for sample size estimation ?

• The prevalence of tumor detection by AI

• The prevalence of tumor detection by radiologist

• The difference of tumor detection by AI vs radiologist

• The difference of patient outcome by AI vs radiologist

IRB: we cannot collect name & HN in case record form. So the correct way is...

• Not record any name, HN

• Record name, HN in only non-sensitive disease

• Record separately between name/HN and research data

• Record in google sheet instead of CRF

What is NOT CLEARLY as additional issue for prospective study ?

• Beneficience

• Respect for person

• Justice

• Confidentiality
