A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Evidence from randomized controlled clinical trials is widely accepted as the only sound basis for assessing the efficacy of new medical treatments. Statistical methods play a key role in all stages of these trials, including their justification, design, and analysis. This second edition of Introduction to Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials provides a concise presentation of the principles applied in this area. It details the concepts behind randomization and methods for designing and analyzing trials and also includes information on meta-analysis and specialized designs, such as cross-over trials, cluster-randomized designs, and equivalence studies.

This latest edition features new and revised references, examples, exercises, and a new chapter dedicated to binary outcomes and survival analysis. It also presents numerous examples taken from the medical literature, contains exercises at the end of each chapter, and offers solutions in an appendix. The author uses Minitab and R software throughout the text for implementing the methods that are presented.

Comprehensive and accessible, Introduction to Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials is well-suited for those familiar with elementary statistical ideas and methods who want to further their knowledge of the subject.

Revue de presse :

This is a very useful introduction to clinical trials. (Biometrics)

The textbook seems to be a good supply for undergraduate or master students in the medical or statistics sciences and gives researchers a good introduction into the field of randomized controlled clinical trials. (Zentralblatt MATH)

...invaluable as a handy (and inexpensive) reminder of the basics for the experienced statistician. Junior statisticians who have absorbed its contents will be ready to start provision of competent technical support for clinical trials, whether within the pharmaceutical industry or in academic environments. (Transactions)

The target audience includes undergraduate and postgraduate students of statistics, as well as applied statisticians working in industry, government or research organizations. Overall, this is a well written book. (Statistics in Medicine, Vol 20)

I found much wisdom in this book about the role and value of statistical methods in randomized controlled trials. Likewise regarding their influence on decisions based on trial evidence- in particular, that this is more limited than the anticipated readership might believe. (International Journal of Epidemiology)

...well written and easy to read. (Short Book Reviews (International Statistical Inst)
