PDF-(BOOK)-Screening in Chronic Disease (Monographs in Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 19)

Early detection or screening is a common strategy for controlling chronic disease but little information has been available to help determine which screening procedures are worthwhile and how often or to whom they should be applied This book presents the epidemiological methods that can be used to answer such questions The book focuses on the description and measurement of changes in the natural history of disease brought about by early detection and treatment Valid methods for assessing the usefulness of screening in reducing morbidity and mortality are emphasized and both experimental and nonexperimental studies are fully described In addition this work discusses the use of mathematical models in setting screening policy ways to enhance the feasibility of screening programs and the clinical course of screendetected disease separating the effects of early treatment lead time and length bias on outcome The second edition has been updated throughout and considerably expanded There are three new chapters Cancer of the Breast Arteriosclerotic Vascular Disease and Cancer of the Cervix These give concrete demonstrations of the applications of screening methods to important diseases. 6 No 2 193 20 193 OPINION wo cheers or Pvalues S SENN Department of Epidemiology and Public Health Department of Statistical Science University College London UK 2001 Isis Medical Media Limite Abstract Pvalues are a practical success but a critical Epidemiology . matters: a new introduction to methodological foundations.
