Clinical Epidemiology: The Essentials
Abstract
This book, written by and directed to physicians, presents the basic concepts of epidemiology with conciseness, clarity, and numerous examples from clinical medicine. The authors approach the topic of clinical epidemiology by applying epidemiologic principles and methods to problems encountered in clinical medicine. They believe that knowledge of these principles can help a clinician not only in the evaluation of clinical literature but also in patient care. The book consists of 12 chapters, each covering a broad epidemiologic concept. Among the major topics included are problems in clinical measurements; sensitivity, specificity, and predictive accuracy of diagnostic tests; measurement of disease occurrence and etiology; and assessment of prognosis and of treatment efficacy. The text has interspersed numerous tables and attractive diagrams and figures, and the authors make effective use of tables to summarize their discussions. Major strengths of this book are its clarity, the attractiveness of its presentation, and its avoidance

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
