5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to understand medical statistics
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2013
Verified Purchase
I was impressed with the overall scope and quality of information in this book. I'm a technical communicator and understand the gap between the content people read and how they interpret and understand it. This book not only covers the most common medical statistic concepts, but it also deciphers and clarifies many terms and concepts that we commonly see when reading medical statistics. For example, it points out many common problems people run into when reporting or interpreting information, such as the "5-year survival rate" - it notes that this isn't a reliable measure of the quality of medical care. Another chapter warns that many studies don't have adequate sample sizes to support conclusive relationships. These added comments really help people put medical terms in perspective when they read them.

The end of the book contains a helpful glossary, symbol notation, and links to other resources. This is a great tool for writers and editors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for anyone interested in report or how to read a paper
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2016

This are two books in one: the first part (175 pages) are the guidelines for report statistic in medicine. Absolutely handy and full of examples. You can read every section separated.
The second part incudes parts II-VI (274 pages) presents detailed guidelines for the report of specific research designs: clinical trials, epidemiological studies, economic evaluations, systematic reviews and clinical guidelines.

The book if full of examples, tables and figures, so is an essential reading to anyone interested in publish or want to read critically the available research.

Also of interest the classic  How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper, 7th Edition  but is more generic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like reading an encyclopedia
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2012
Verified Purchase
The information in this book is excellent. It does a great job covering the key points that you want to include when writing up the statistics and methods of a study. The writing is exceptionally complete and thoughtful and it has excellent coverage of topics that are rarely covered in "user friendly" books (like Bayesian statistics). So, the material deserves a solid 5 stars. However, the presentation, which is organized around bullet points makes the book *hard* to read. In other words, each topic is well covered but there is no flow and no-continuity. This is an absolute shame because the entire body of material is approachable to a wide array of readers. If you are looking for a text that flows consider  Presenting Medical Statistics from Proposal to Publication: A Step-by-step Guide (Oxford Medical Publications) .

I got it in a timely fashion and in excellent condition. The book itself is extremely useful for anyone who in the academic medicine field, but specially for those who read and/or review scholarly papers, or write them. Highly recommended and really wished I had it earlier in my career.

I meant to buy this when Tom first published it, but didn't do so at the AMWA meeting, and I've been kicking myself ever since. I'm happy to have found a used copy in extremely good condition at a great price. This is an invaluable reference for anyone who edits scientific material, since the correct reporting of the statistics used is as important as any other part of the work. Thanks Amazon!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for beginners - from a beginner
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2011
This was the textbook for my biostatistics class. Perhaps it was just the wrong choice for the class, but as a junior medical writer I found it very difficult to use.

First, the "checklist" format results in a lot of redundancy across chapters. The basic IMRD structure applies to all medical publications, but the book repeats steps over and over again, which takes up a lot of space with information that anyone with basic writing skills should already know.

In addition, because there is so much variation and complexity in clinical trials, results will rarely fit into one nice category for reporting. To use this book, you would have to refer to multiple chapters and dig through the redundant steps (see above) to find what you need. Even then you may not find it, because statistical tests and concepts are scattered across chapters.

The glossary in the back of the book is more helpful in understanding concepts and how to apply them, but it makes me wonder why they didn't just include the information as part of the text? It would have been more efficient and user-friendly to describe the concepts and tests and how to apply them to publications, rather than the other way around.

There is some useful information here, but as a new writer, this book will not be my first choice for guidance on how to write a medical publication.

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2007

I found this book unexpectedly useful, complete and easy to read. It contains the kind of statistical knowledge that medical people do like to see. It is not another textbook that reviews medical statistics. However it provides the clues to understand and classify all these statistical jargon and processes that cause difficulties to eveybody that loves to handle statistics himself.I fully recommend it
