ODM Data Analysis—A tool for the automatic validation, monitoring and generation of generic descriptive statistics of patient data

PLOS ONE 21 Jun 2018 English

ODM Data Analysis (ODM-DA) is a software package designed to address the lack of statistical analysis capabilities in electronic data capture systems (EDCs) used in clinical studies. It allows for the automatic validation, monitoring, and generation of descriptive statistics from clinical data in the CDISC ODM format. The software is implemented as a web application and is also available as a Docker image for local use, ensuring data privacy. ODM-DA supports various data types and provides comprehensive statistics and charts, enhancing the understanding and quality of clinical study data. The tool has been evaluated with data from four local registries, demonstrating its efficiency and ease of use. Future improvements include performance enhancements and support for more complex statistical analyses.
