Methods for Meta-Analysis in Medical Research

By Alexander Sutton et al.

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Im Rahmen der Meta-Analyse wird versucht, die in klinischen Versuchen gesammelten Daten zu kombinieren, um Schlußfolgerungen über die Wirksamkeit einer Behandlung abzuleiten. Das Thema ist daher gleichermaßen relevant für Medizin und pharmazeutische Industrie. Einschlägige methodische Ansätze werden kritisch diskutiert und miteinander verglichen. Nützlich sind die ausführlichen Hinweise auf weiterführende Literatur zu Spezialthemen. (10/00)
