From Montreal to Vancouver with ISPOR and SCT!
We’re looking forward to connecting at ISPOR 2025 in Montreal, taking place next week from May 14–16. Visit us at booth #1217 to learn more about our work and meet our team. We're also excited to be contributing to the scientific program with a Fast Facts session and six posters showcasing our latest research.
The following week, we’ll be in Vancouver for SCT 2025 where we are presenting one poster and an oral presentation.
Presentation slides, downloadable poster PDFs, and a link to our Shiny Apps are included below.
Fast Facts Session
Clear thinking about cause and effect is essential when working with real-world data. Directed acyclic graphs, or DAGs, are powerful tools for mapping out causal relationships and identifying potential biases in causal analyses. Recognized by both NICE and the FDA, DAGs are the recommend approach for making causal questions more transparent. In this hands-on session, we’ll explore how to use DAGs to bring structure and clarity to your analytical strategy.
Our Shiny Apps
DAGDraw is a tool for developing DAGs. It includes support for identifying confounders and additional features for transportability and generalizationability analyses. The video below shows the key features of the tool. You can use DAGDraw on the web or download it from our GitHub to use it locally.
TransportHealth is a statistical package we developed for conducting transportability analyses. It also has a companion Shiny App with a point-and-click interface for those who are unfamiliar with statistical programming in R. Our package website, on GitHub, also includes illustrative vignettes and example datasets to guide users through the analysis.
Our Posters
The work CCS is presenting at these conferences covers a wide range of topics from evidence synthesis to software development and everything in between. However, this work is united by a common theme: improving the relevance of health research outputs to decision-makers and actors.
Some of this work is described in more detail in online preprints:
