Critical Appraisal of Epidemiological Studies and Clinical Trials

Beschreibung

Critical appraisal is central to the development of rational health care and evidence-based medicine, by applying it to questions of aetiology, clinical therapy, and health care management. The reader will learn how to assess the strengths and weaknesses of new studies, and how to conduct their own studies.
