From the reviews of the second edition:
This book provides both a background to evidence-based medicine and an easy transition from some of the classical statistics of medical care to everyday practice. This book will help clinicians of all levels and students of all modalities understand how to put the literature into perspective. This is an extraordinarily useful book for understanding evidence-based medicine and a pragmatic look at medical statistics. This is a tremendous asset for students who struggle with medical statistics. (Vincent F. Carr, Doody' s Book Reviews, January, 2014)Es wurden noch keine Bewertungen abgegeben.
