💡 #DataManagement: Cleaning and Validation in Clinical Trials Ensuring data quality is a critical aspect of clinical trials. Effective data management is the cornerstone of successful studies, ensuring that collected data is accurate, consistent, and reliable. The process involves two key steps:   Data Cleaning: 📌 Detecting and resolving errors, inconsistencies, and missing data. 📌 Correcting duplicate entries or unexpected outliers to ensure a clean dataset. Data Validation: 📌 Ensuring adherence to protocol-defined data collection procedures. 📌 Verifying that key data points are accurately recorded. 📌 Using automated checks in Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems to flag and address discrepancies. Data cleaning and validation are essential to uphold the integrity of the trial, meet regulatory standards, and provide a solid foundation for meaningful analysis and reporting. #ClinicalTrials #DataManagement #ClinicalResearch #DataQuality
