In this article we look back over the last few decades and consider the progress made against the barriers that Andy Grieve has identified that may be holding statisticians back. We highlight some examples from his career where he leads the way in showing how we may overcome obstacles to enable statisticians to 'count' and assess whether anything has now changed for pharmaceutical statisticians.

Article Synopsis
- This study compares heparin and 0.9% sodium chloride for locking peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in blood cancer patients.
- Participants were randomly assigned to either locking method for up to 7 days, with no significant difference in PICC patency between the two.
- Heparin led to more side effects, higher costs, and increased nursing time, suggesting that 0.9% sodium chloride is a safer and more cost-effective option for maintenance.
