Biomedical Statistics: Research Methods and Data Management

Medical research is necessary to establish the safety and effectiveness of specific health and medical products and practices. Analyzing the data and interpreting the results are the most exciting stages of a research project because these provide the answers to the study questions. This book discusses the basic process by which research studies are conducted, and show how to report results for publication. Section I provides an overview on the principles of research practice, and presents in details all the necessary steps of research design; including an essential introduction to evidence-based medicine. Section II provides a comprehensive knowledge of conducting and interpreting biomedical statistics, and guides researchers through the processes of data management. Everything is easy when you know how - I hope that this book will provide the "know how" for all researchers, academicians and health-care professionals.
