About this title

Synopsis

When formulating policy recommendations in medicine, the need for a synthesis of information to evaluate effectiveness and costs is irrefutable. This book describes meta-analysis, decision analysis, and cost-effectiveness analysis as conceptually related, quantitative methods for combining information to arrive at a summary conclusion. The information derived from appropriate use of these methods would foster rational decision-making based on systematic use of the information we already have. The book describes how to design and conduct these three types of studies and how to interpret their results. It presents sufficient detail on the practical aspects of the application of the methods so that even a novice could do a simple analysis knowing little more than what is in the book. Even those who do not plan to carry out these types of studies themselves will profit from more detailed knowledge about how such studies are properly done. Policy-makers without direct research experience will learn how better to utilize data from the three types of studies taking into account their limitations, which are discussed fully.

Store Description

Alien Bindings is an online bookshop located in Baltimore that has been in operation for nearly 20 years. Alien Bindings caters to the sciences including the physical sciences, astronomy, mathematics, computer science, the social sciences and medicine. I also dabble in a wide array of other categories including antiquarian books and history. I run a clean, green business. I try to reuse clean materials for packaging whenever possible. For example, books are carefully packaged frequently using clean cardboard for custom made boxes, recycled paper is used for printed labels and recycled plastic or bubble wrap is used for a weather-proof barrier. I drop the packages off to my local post office via foot or cycle in order to further reduce the carbon footprint.
