THE LANCET臨床研究導讀(Handbook of Essential Concepts in Clinical Research)中文版 2008 由Elsevier Taiwan出版,力大圖書經銷。
這是一本好書,但中文版未曾仔細閱讀過,只讀過英文版,Schulz, K. F. 及Grimes, D. A.兩人合著,英國人的英文當然是比較難,但也比較有趣。必需注意的是在第七章關於Youden's J出現錯誤,書中誤植為predictive value positive + predictive value negative - 1,正確為sensitivity + specificity - 1。勘誤表出版於Lancet. 2008 Jun 14;371(9629):1998.。出錯的由來可能來自Armitage, P et al的Statistical Methods in Medical Reseach。
整本書的內容在Lancet 上於2002年及2005年出版。

統計、流病、EBM 9: ABC of Epidemiology
當初在上課時,在同學的介紹之下發現了在 Kidney International 連載的文章 ABC of Epidemiology,也是橫跨三年的文章。他人之石可以攻錯,好文章分享。統計與流病是相輔相成的,正如Sir William Osler所說的"He who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicine without patients does not go to sea at all."
01. General and clinical epidemiology at square two: A new educational series for the renal physician.
02. Measuring disease occurrence
03. The randomized clinical trial: An unbeatable standard in clinical research?
04. The valuable contribution of observational studies to nephrology
05. Measures of effect: Relative risks, odds ratios, risk difference, and 'number needed to treat'
06. Bias in clinical research
07. Confounding: What it is and how to deal with it
08. Linear and logistic regression analysis
09. The analysis of survival data: the Kaplan–Meier method
10. The analysis of survival data in nephrology: basic concepts and methods of Cox regression
