It includes the design of clinical trials and epidemiological studies, data collection, summarizing and presenting data, probability, standard error, confidence intervals and significance tests, techniques of data analysis including multifactorial methods and the choice of statistical method, problems of medical measurement and diagnosis, vital statistics, and calculation of sample size. The new edition describes the design and analysis of medical research studies in a clear and user friendly manner.

Material which is encountered only at the postgraduate level has been indicated clearly in the text to facilitate ease or use. The book is firmly grounded in medical data, particularly in medical research, and includes real illustrative examples. There are 100 multiple choice questions and 17 long questions involving calculations to which fully explained solutions are provided. A new companion volume, Statisitical questions in evidence based medicine (Bland & Peacock, 2000) refers directly to this new edition. This new book of questions and answers includes no calculations and is complementary to the exercises given here.

Provides great explanations of stats in the medical literature

February 9, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I am a fourth year pharmacy student and I bought this book hoping that it would help me wrap my head around the statistics and trial designs I was reading about every few weeks for journal club. I needed something that would help me interpret the literature, then apply it to practice. This is very much a statistics book and not quite the perfect "journal club how-to" I was looking for, but I'm still quite glad I have it. There are two chapters that give a nice overview of the types of study designs (cross-over, case-control, etc) and other basic trial concepts like allocation and randomization, sampling, informed consent, and bias. I always got tripped up by some of the most fundamental statistical concepts like power and confidence intervals, and I was never quite sure what I should be taking away from them. Bland gives easy to understand explanations of those types of basics, starting with how they're calculated, what they really mean, and how you should interpret them when you come across them in the literature. He also has one of the best explanations of p values that I've ever read.

I still want to find a guide that goes more into applying trial results to practice, but this is a great place to start if you need help interpreting all of those scary statistics in the medical literature.

This is an excellent book for learning about statistical tests. Good explanations. The newest version includes more stats. It's one of my "go to" books for statistics.
