This hands-on guide is much more than a basic medical statistics
introduction. It equips you with the statistical tools required for
evidence-based clinical research.
Each chapter provides a clear step-by-step guide to each
statistical test with practical instructions on how to generate and
interpret the numbers, and present the results as scientific tables
or graphs.
Showing you how to:
- analyse data with the help of data set examples (Click here to

- select the correct statistics and report results for
publication or presentation
- understand and critically appraise results reported in the literature
Each statistical test is linked to the research question and the
type of study design used. There are also checklists for critically
appraising the literature and web links to useful internet
sites.
Clear and concise explanations, combined with plenty of examples and tabulated explanations are based on the authors’ popular medical statistics courses. Critical appraisal guidelines at the end of each chapter help the reader evaluate the statistical data in their particular contexts.
