この電子書籍について

Translational Urology covers the principles of evidence-based medicine and applies these principles to the design of translational investigations. The reader will come to fully understand important concepts, including case-control study, prospective cohort study, randomized trial, and reliability study. Medical researchers will benefit from greater confidence in their ability to initiate and execute their own investigations, avoid common pitfalls in urology, and know what is needed for successful collaboration. Further, this title is an indispensable tool in grant writing and funding efforts.This practical, straightforward approach helps the aspiring investigator navigate challenging considerations in study design and implementation. The book provides valuable discussions of the critical appraisal of published studies in urology, allowing the reader to learn how to evaluate the quality of such studies with respect to measuring outcomes and to make effective use of all types of evidence in patient care. - Focuses on the principles of evidence-based medicine and applies these principles to the design of translational investigations within the field of urology - Provides a practical, straightforward approach that helps investigators navigate challenging considerations in study design and implementation - Details discussions of the critical appraisal of published studies in urology, supporting evaluation with respect to measuring outcomes and making effective use of all types of evidence in patient care
