Summary:

As the healthcare environment changes, the need for outcomes-based treatment planning becomes even more critical. This book guides the reader through current outcomes-based research as it pertains to surgery. First, it gives a complete overview of the practice of evidence-based surgery (EBS), with topics such as treatment planning, policy issues, and ethical issues. Then it gives practical, step-by-step advice on the methodology of EBS, with chapters on study design, outcomes measures, adjustments for complications and comorbidities, cost, and data sources. Last, it publishes the results of numerous respected EBS studies.
