Clinical Epidemiology: The Essentials

This book is easy to read and understand. The needed information is presented but in a manner that is easily understood and applicable to epidemiology

Exactly what I needed for class, easy to read and packed full of information. The book was in great shape when it was delivered.

concise, precise text ,good source for researchers to help choose the proper research methodology to achieve scientific studies, I recommend it to all in the field of medical research

This is a great book for those interested in clinical epidemiology. It is very practical and contains lots of examples. At the end of each chapter, there are review/study questions. The book also has an access code which gives the buyer access to numerous questions for about 2 years. However, some of the questions in the book do not have the correct answer and there are many unclear review questions. I wish the authors included more information on mortality and morbidity. It is certainly an improvement over the 4th edition. Worth reading it!

Sus conceptos son muy claros y precisos Soy docente universitario y miembro de un Comité de Ética en Investigación. Lo utilizo para enseñar a los alumnos y como ayuda para evaluar Protocolos de Investigación. Primero lo alquilé y como es tan bueno decidí comprarlo

Good for school

The book has these holes in it, so i disliked that about the book. everything was okay other wise

Well written, technical but not overwhelming. Much more interesting than other epidemiological texts I have had to read.

Increíble y ameno, didáctico. He disfrutado mucho con la lectura, fijado conceptos a medio aprender, y aprendido conceptos que no tenía nada claros.

Arrived quickly and as promised.

臨床疫学の教科書を持ち運ぶことができる。 細かな統計手法の解説よりも、疫学の臨床応用という視点に重きが置かれている。

Good

I enjoyed this book, but found that it best serves the purpose of being a general summary or random depository of concepts and ideas. It is ideal for revision. There are more complete and exhaustive sources out there for much of the same material. However, since Clinical Epidemiology is a relatively non-uniform field, its different components would be found in pure Epidemiology texts, or pure Statistics texts. This means that the task of uniting the elements of the field is not so easy, or even common, to come by. In my perspective, then, this book is best for those who would benefit from a study source with the all the material needed in one unique location. For deeper reading, I would recommend buying the old but relevant Clinical Epidemiology by David Sackett and Gordon Guyatt, as well as perhaps Essential Medical Statistics, by Betty Kirkwood. The soon to come out JAMA User's Guide to the Medical Literature will likely continue to be a standard text in the area.
