Clinical Epidemiology: Clinical Epidemiology: How to Do Clinical Practice Research (Third Edition)
Por R. Brian Haynes; Gordon H. Guyatt; Peter Tugwell; David L. Sackett "This book is about the methods for health care research. We've written Clinical Epidemiology: How to Do Clinical Practice Research for investigators at any stage of their careers, from beginning students to seasoned investigators. It is about how to do clinical-practice research, including some aspects of interventional health services research. In other words, it is about how to find answers to questions about such matters as the prevention and treatment, diagnosis, prognosis, and cause of health care problems; the measurement of health status and quality of life; and the effect of innovations in health services. This book isn't about biostatistics. We've pitched the mathematical–statistical level at that of a smart person who has passed high school algebra. We've done this for two reasons. First, we think that the major methodological challenges in clinical-practice research have to do with preventing bias, not with performing statistical analyses. Second, we think it's vital to work with a statistician co-investigator rather than try to master and apply modern statistical techniques yourself (unless you are already a statistician!). For biostatisticians who might otherwise find this book useful, we apologize in advance for any oversimplified statistical bits."

Clinical Epidemiology: The Essentials (Sixth Edition)
Por Grant S. Fletcher "This book is for clinicians—physicians, nurses, physicians' assistants, psychologists, veterinarians, and others who care for patients—who want to understand for themselves the strength of the information base for their clinical decisions. Students of epidemiology and public health may also find this book useful as a complement to the many excellent textbooks about epidemiology itself."
