Summary:

How much statistics does a clinician, surgeon or nurse need to know? This book provides an essential handbook to help appraise evidence in a scientific paper, to design and interpret the results of research correctly, to guide our students and to review the work of our colleagues. This title is written by a clinician exclusively for fellow clinicians, in their own language and not in statistical or epidemiological terms. When clinicians discuss probability, it is focussed on how it applies to the management of patients in the flesh and how they are managed in a clinical setting. Statistics for Clinicians does not overlook the basis of statistics, but reviews techniques specific to medicine with an emphasis on their application. It ensures that readers have the correct tools to hand, including worked examples, guides and links to online calculators and free software, enabling readers to execute most statistical calculations. This book will therefore be enormously helpful for many working across all fields of medicine at any stage of their career.
