Biostatistics in clinical medicine

By Joseph A. Ingelfinger and Joseph Ingelfinger

Book Overview

The text prepares students & physicians to use applications of probability & statistics in the care of the individual patient. The emphasis is on using this data in problems of diagnosis, treatment, & follow-up care. Each chapter includes a clinical case that demonstrates the application of biostatistics in the daily practice of medicine. The text is distinguished from Glantz' Biostatistics in two ways: 1) a greater focus on epidemiological data as it relates to biostatistics, & 2) more clinically oriented approach. Glantz' strength lies in its excellent introductory approach to the topic; Inglefinger is the logical next step into the clinical application. This edition features all-new references to the literature & many new clinical case examples.
