The essentials : in Medical Biostatistics
Keywords:
biostatistics, medicine, statistics, epidemiology, research, descriptive analysis, inferencial analysisSynopsis
Medical biostatistics is the language that evidence speaks in the field of medicine. It is the tool that allows us to understand, interpret and apply the data that emerge from the complex network of information that characterizes health research. This book is an indispensable guide for those seeking to navigate this vast ocean of data with skill and understanding.
In a world where clinical decision-making and health policy formulation increasingly depend on scientific evidence, biostatistics stands as the foundation on which medical knowledge is built. This book not only provides the tools necessary to understand the fundamental principles of biostatistics, but also explores how these tools can be practically applied in medical research.
Throughout these pages, the reader will be guided from the most basic concepts to the most advanced methods, always with a clear focus on clinical relevance. Topics ranging from data collection and description to the design and analysis of epidemiological studies and clinical trials will be addressed. Case studies and real-life examples will be highlighted to illustrate how biostatistics influences medical decision making and improving patient care.
This book is the result of the collaboration of experts in biostatistics and health professionals, united by the conviction that statistical knowledge is essential for evidence-based medical practice. We hope that this journey through medical biostatistics will be as educational as it is exciting, and that in the end, readers will feel empowered to explore, understand, and contribute to the vast field of medical research.
