Among patients with atrial fibrillation at high risk for stroke and bleeding, left atrial appendage closure was not noninferior to medical therapy in reducing the risk of stroke, embolism, major bleeding, or death at 3 years.

MINI SYMPOSIUM "Adaptive Designs: Modern Approaches in Clinical Research" with Cyrus Mehta (President and Co-founder of @Cytel ; @HarvardChanSPH) and Frank Konietschke (@ChariteBerlin) at Göttingen (Germany) on Friday 27 FEB 2026. medstat.umg.eu/veranstaltunge…

Prof. Frank Harrell, a leading figure in Bayesian biostatistics and experienced FDA advisor, joins Dr. Scott Berry on "In the Interim…" for an unfiltered assessment of statistical barriers and regulatory realities shaping clinical trial design. Prof. Harrell addresses the slow adoption of Bayesian approaches within the clinical trial community, critical flaws in type 1 error fixation, and the value of longitudinal and ordinal outcome modeling. Harrell describes both the influence of Dr. Don Berry and the ongoing effort to guide U.S. regulatory frameworks. Listen to this fascinating conversation today to learn more about the Bayesian approach to clinical trials: berryconsultants.com/resource/29-ba…

Random-effects meta-analyis of a single study? Yes, this makes sense e.g. when deriving a meta-analytic predictive (MAP) prior for the analysis of another study. In this setting there are close links to power priors and bias allowance models. arxiv.org/abs/2505.15502
