Medical Statistics from A to Z, Guide for Clinicians and Medical Students, 3rd Edition

For clinicians not well-versed in mathematical techniques, medical
statistics can be baffling. Understanding these statistics is crucial
for the interpretation of literature and the informed judgement of the
use of therapies. From 'Abortion rate' to 'Zygosity determination', this
accessible introduction to the terminology of medical statistics
clearly describes, illustrates and explains over 1500 terms using
non-technical language, and without any mathematical formulae! The
majority of terms have been updated and revised for this new edition,
and almost 150 new definitions have been added, ensuring readers are up
to date with the latest practices. Entries are organised alphabetically,
and related topics are clearly cross-referenced throughout, to provide
fast, easy navigation. Further reading suggestions supplement most
definitions, which allows readers to deepen their understanding of the
subject. Enabling clinicians and medical students to grasp the meaning
of any statistical terms they encounter when studying medical
literature, this guide is a real lifesaver.
