Medicine is becoming increasingly reliant on diagnostic, prognostic
and screening tests for the successful treatment of patients. With new
tests being developed all the time, a more informed understanding of
the benefits and drawbacks of these tests is crucial. Providing
readers with the tools needed to evaluate and interpret these tests,
numerous real-world examples demonstrate the practical application and
relevance of the material. The mathematics involved are rigorously
explained using simple and informative language. Topics covered
include the diagnostic process, reliability and accuracy of tests, and
quantifying treatment benefits using randomized trials, amongst
others. Engaging illustrations act as visual representations of the
concepts discussed in the book, complementing the textual explanation.
Based on decades of experience teaching in a clinical research
training program, this fully updated second edition is an essential
guide for anyone looking to select, develop or market medical tests.
