Gute Daten + gute Statistik = gute Ergebnisse! Mit diesem Buch haben falsche Statistiken keine Chance mehr. Übersichtlich gegliedert in 6 Teile mit zusammen 20 Kapiteln werden hier alle wichtigen Typen von Daten und die Verfahren zu deren Auswertung erklärt. Die erklärte Maxime des Autors ist es, dass sich eine statistische Auswertung immer an der Art und Qualität der Daten orientieren muss, damit diese nicht fehl- oder überinterpretiert werden. Komplizierte Mathematik ist dabei weder nötig noch erwünscht, denn meistens sind die einfachsten Verfahren die aussagekräftigsten. Ein positiver Lerneffekt stellt sich bereits nach wenigen Seiten ein, denn hier werden genau die Fragen gestellt (und beantwortet!), mit denen ein angehender Mediziner oder Pharmazeut während der Ausbildung konfrontiert wird. Mit seinem ungezwungenen und direkten Stil gelingt es dem Autor, dass die Statistik vom ungeliebten Kind zum effizienten Werkzeug wird, auch ohne mathematische Begabung beim Leser. * Leicht verständliche Texte (fast) ohne Formeln * Alle Beispiele kommen aus der Medizin oder der Pharmazie * Warnhinweise auf häufi ge Fehler und auf den unsachgemäßen Einsatz von Statistiken Als leicht verständliche Einführung in die statistischen Grundlagen und Verfahren, die in der Medizin und in der Pharmazie eingesetzt werden, ist dieses Buch bestens geeignet für alle, die eine Ausbildung im medizinischpharmazeutischen Bereich absolvieren.

A hands-on guide to using statistics in health research, from planning, through analysis, and on to reporting A Practical Approach to Using Statistics in Health Research offers an easy to use, step-by-step guide for using statistics in health research. The authors use their experience of statistics and health research to explain how statistics fit in to all stages of the research process. They explain how to determine necessary sample sizes, interpret whether there are statistically significant difference in outcomes between groups, and use measured effect sizes to decide whether any changes are large enough to be relevant to professional practice. The text walks you through how to identify the main outcome measure for your study and the factor which you think may influence that outcome and then determine what type of data will be used to record both of these. It then describes how this information is used to select the most appropriate methods to report and analyze your data. A step-by-step guide on how to use a range of common statistical procedures are then presented in separate chapters. To help you make sure that you are using statistics robustly, the authors also explore topics such as multiple testing and how to check whether measured data follows a normal distribution. Videos showing how to use computer packages to carry out all the various methods mentioned in the book are available on our companion web site. This book: • Covers statistical aspects of all the stages of health research from planning to final reporting • Explains how to report statistical planning, how analyses were performed, and the results and conclusion • Puts the spotlight on consideration of clinical significance and not just statistical significance • Explains the importance of reporting 95% confidence intervals for effect size • Includes a systematic guide for selection of statistical tests and uses example data sets and videos to help you understand exactly how to use statistics Written as an introductory guide to statistics for healthcare professionals, students and lecturers in the fields of pharmacy, nursing, medicine, dentistry, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy, A Practical Approach to Using Statistics in Health Research:From Planning to Reporting is a handy reference that focuses on the application of statistical methods within the health research context.

Essential Statistics for the Pharmaceutical Sciences is targeted at all those involved in research in pharmacology, pharmacy or other areas of pharmaceutical science; everybody from undergraduate project students to experienced researchers should find the material they need. This book will guide all those who are not specialist statisticians in using sound statistical principles throughout the whole journey of a research project - designing the work, selecting appropriate statistical methodology and correctly interpreting the results. It deliberately avoids detailed calculation methodology. Its key features are friendliness and clarity. All methods are illustrated with realistic examples from within pharmaceutical science. This edition now includes expanded coverage of some of the topics included in the first edition and adds some new topics relevant to pharmaceutical research. a clear, accessible introduction to the key statistical techniques used within the pharmaceutical sciences all examples set in relevant pharmaceutical contexts. key points emphasised in summary boxes and warnings of potential abuses in ‘pirate boxes’. supplementary material - full data sets and detailed instructions for carrying out analyses using packages such as SPSS or Minitab – provided at:https://www.wiley.com/go/rowe/statspharmascience2e An invaluable introduction to statistics for any science student and an essential text for all those involved in pharmaceutical research at whatever level.
