The Importance of Statistical Analysis in Medicine and Pharmacy
Abstract
Statistical analysis plays a vital and indispensable role in the development of modern medical and pharmaceutical sciences. It forms the backbone of evidence-based decision-making, guiding critical processes from the earliest stages of drug discovery and clinical trials to post-market surveillance and the design of public health policies. By enabling researchers to draw meaningful conclusions from complex datasets, statistics ensure the reliability, validity and reproducibility of scientific outcomes. In recent years, the emergence of artificial intelligence, machine learning and personalized medicine has significantly increased the reliance on advanced statistical methods. These innovations require precise modeling, accurate risk assessment and predictive analytics to improve patient outcomes and treatment efficiency. This paper explores the foundational importance of statistical analysis in contemporary medicine and pharmacy, detailing its diverse applications, highlighting recent technological integrations, and addressing the methodological and ethical challenges involved in using data for clinical and public health decision-making.
