"The book offers clear advice on the appropriate use of statistics in anaesthesia and intensive care; explains in simple terms the various statistical methods; and enables the reader to interpret statistical methods used in journal articles, understand and use statistics in research projects (and pass examinations!)" "Written in a user-friendly style, each chapter begins with a summary of key points, basic definitions and principles. This is an essential guide for all anaesthetists interested in reading journal articles and conducting research, and it also provides a basic grounding for those preparing for specialist examinations."--Jacket.
