Johan Lyth

Associate Professor, Docent

Mostly involved in various research projects. I have a broad competence and move between the fields of statistics, epidemiology and health economics.

Presentation

A large part of my research focuses on early detection and screening in various areas of health care. I have mostly been involved in projects related to malignant melanoma, atrial fibrillation/heart failure, hip fractures and frail elderly. My expertise relates to both statistical/epidemiological issues and health economic models.

I have mostly conducted research using data from registries and healthcare databases, but have recently become more involved in the statistical work of randomized trials.

I particularly enjoy survival analysis (Cox and time-dependent Cox) and prediction (machine learning).

I am main supervisor for one PhD student and assistant supervisor for one PhD student.
