Abstract

Outside back cover : "This comprehensive workbook contains a variety of self-assessment methods that allow readers to test their statistical knowledge, put it into practice, and apply it in a medical context, while also providing guidance when critically appraising published literature. It is designed to support the best-selling third edition of Medical Statistics at a Glance, to which it is fully cross-referenced, but may be used independently of it. Ideal for medical students, junior doctors, researchers and anyone working in the biomedical and pharmaceutical disciplines who wants to feel more confident in basic medical statistics, the title includes : • Over 80 MCQs, each testing knowledge of a single statistical concept or aspect of study interpretation - 29 structured questions to explore in greater depth several statistical techniques or principles, including the choice of appropriate statistical analyses and the interpretation of study findings - Templates for the appraisal of clinical trials and observational studies, plus full appraisals of two published papers to demonstrate the use of these templates in practice - Detailed step-by-step analyses of two substantial data sets (also available at www.medstatsaag.com) to demonstrate the application of statistical procedures to real-life research. Medical Statistics at a Glance Workbook is the ideal resource to test statistical knowledge and improve analytical and interpretational skills."

Abstract

"The Delphi Technique in Nursing and Health Research is a practical guide to using the Delphi methodology for students and researchers in nursing and health. It adopts a logical step-by-step approach, introducing the researcher to the 'Delphi', outlining its development, analysing key characteristics and parameters for the successful application of the Delphi and exploring its applications in nursing and health. The book addresses issues of methodology, design, framing the research question, sampling, instrumentation, methodological rigour, reliability and validity, and methods of data analysis. The Delphi Technique in Nursing and Health Research enables the reader to be aware of the limitations of the technique and possible solutions, to design a Delphi questionnaire for each of the different rounds of a study, to consider different approaches to the technique in relation to a study, to analyse the data from each round of a Delphi study and understand the importance of feedback between rounds. Key Points

    A practical guide to facilitate use of the 'Delphi' technique, provides the reader with the necessary information to participate in and conduct Delphi studies examines different types of Delphi, including the e-Delphi, and modifications made to the technique includes examples of real empirical investigations, brief case scenarios and key learning points for each chapter explores the role of the Delphi researcher explore ethical issues and issues of anonymity, use of experts and controlled feedback"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

The book presents current research advances, both academic and industrial, in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data analytics for biomedical and healthcare applications. The book deals with key challenges associated with biomedical data analysis including higher dimensions, class imbalances, smaller database sizes, etc. It also highlights development of novel pattern recognition and machine learning methods specific to medical and genomic data, which is extremely necessary but highly challenging. The book will be useful for healthcare professionals who have access to interesting data sources but lack the expertise to use data mining effectively.

Abstract

How much statistics does a clinician, surgeon or nurse need to know? This book provides an essential handbook to help appraise evidence in a scientific paper, to design and interpret the results of research correctly, to guide our students and to review the work of our colleagues. This title is written by a clinician exclusively for fellow clinicians, in their own language and not in statistical or epidemiological terms. When clinicians discuss probability, it is focussed on how it applies to the management of patients in the flesh and how they are managed in a clinical setting. Statistics for Clinicians does not overlook the basis of statistics, but reviews techniques specific to medicine with an emphasis on their application. It ensures that readers have the correct tools to hand, including worked examples, guides and links to online calculators and free software, enabling readers to execute most statistical calculations. This book will therefore be enormously helpful for many working across all fields of medicine at any stage of their career.

Abstract

Many radiological manuscripts are burdened by limitations relating to study design, definition of enrollment criteria and standard of reference, lack of preliminary estimation of sample size, and incorrect use of statistical tests. These limitations sometimes oblige the reviewer to recommend rejection of a manuscript more frequently than would be the case if rejection were based solely on inherent errors in technical performance or interpretation of imaging modalities. An underlying aim of this book is to facilitate the interaction between radiologists and statisticians by explaining the basics of statistical methods as applied to medical imaging. The intention is to help develop a way of thinking beyond merely how to perform calculations and get p values. Thus, radiologists will be able to solve small statistical problems and, more importantly, to assume the right perspective during the crucial phase when a study is planned and undertaken.
