PDF-(EBOOK)-Evidence-Based Diagnosis: An Introduction to Clinical Epidemiology

Medicine is becoming increasingly reliant on diagnostic prognostic and screening tests for the successful treatment of patients With new tests being developed all the time a more informed understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of these tests is crucial Providing readers with the tools needed to evaluate and interpret these tests numerous realworld examples demonstrate the practical application and relevance of the material The mathematics involved are rigorously explained using simple and informative language Topics covered include the diagnostic process reliability and accuracy of tests and quantifying treatment benefits using randomized trials amongst others Engaging illustrations act as visual representations of the concepts discussed in the book complementing the textual explanation Based on decades of experience teaching in a clinical research training program this fully updated second edition is an essential guide for anyone looking to select develop or market medical tests. medicine.

In 2006, the EULAR produced its first evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis of gout. Since then, a number of studies have explored the diagnostic value of clinical algorithms and of imaging modalities such as ultrasound (US) or dual-energy computed tomography (DECT).

Now in its fourth edition, Rational Diagnosis and Treatment: Evidence-Based Clinical Decision-Making is a unique book to look at evidence-based medicine and the difficulty of applying evidence from group studies to individual patients.The book analyses the successive stages of the decision process and deals with topics such as the examination of the patient, the reliability of clinical data, the logic of diagnosis, the fallacies of uncontrolled therapeutic experience and the need for randomised clinical trials and meta-analyses. It is the main theme of the book that, whenever possible, clinical decisions must be based on the evidence from clinical research, but the authors also explain the pitfalls of such research and the problems involved in applying evidence from groups of patients to the individual patient.For this new edition, the sections on placebo and meta-analysis and on alternative medicine have been thoroughly updated, and there is more focus on insufficient reporting of harms of interventions. The sections on different research designs describe advantages and limitations, and the increased medicalisation and the effects of cancer screening on health people are noted. A section on academic freedom when clinicians collaborate with industry and ghost authors is added.This essential reference work integrates the science and statistical approach of evidence-based medicine with the art and humanism of medical practice distinguishing between data, sets of data, knowledge and wisdom, and their application. Such an intellectually challenging book is ideal for both medical students and doctors who require theoretical and practical clinical skills to help ensure that they apply theory in practice. \"Publisher\'s Note: Products purchased from Third Party sellers are not guaranteed by the publisher for quality, authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product.
