A visual guide to interpreting medical research statistics

Many clinicians lack the statistical training needed to critically appraise published research, yet evidence-based practice demands exactly that skill. Using and Understanding Medical Statistics takes a deliberately visual, clinician-centred approach, using over 200 figures and real-world journal article examples to build intuitive understanding of the methods encountered in medical literature.

Coverage spans descriptive statistics, inferential statistics and confidence intervals, linear and logistic regression, survival analysis, and advanced observational techniques including propensity score matching and interrupted time series. Each chapter closes with simulation-based exercises that mirror genuine medical research scenarios, reinforcing practical application of each technique.

The book also features:

  • "Key Concepts" summaries at the end of each section that scaffold understanding and prepare readers for subsequent topics
  • Technical sections marked by a chili icon at subheadings, allowing readers to skip advanced material without losing continuity
  • Chapter summaries providing high-level overviews that support rapid review and consolidation of statistical methods covered
  • Examples inspired by published journal articles rather than generic datasets, grounding every technique in authentic clinical contexts
  • Mathematical notation kept to an absolute minimum, connecting high-school mathematics to the statistical sophistication of modern research

Designed for postgraduate healthcare researchers, PhD students in medical sciences, and clinicians pursuing continuing professional development or transitioning into academia, this book builds the statistical literacy required to evaluate study reliability and apply research findings confidently to patient care.

解讀醫學研究統計的視覺化指南

許多臨床醫師缺乏批判性評讀已發表研究所需的統計訓練，然而，實證醫療（evidence-based practice）恰恰要求具備這項能力。《Using and Understanding Medical Statistics》採取刻意以視覺化呈現、以臨床醫師為中心的方法，運用超過 200 張圖表及真實期刊論文範例，建立讀者對醫學文獻中常見統計方法的直觀理解。

本書涵蓋描述性統計、推論統計與信賴區間、線性迴歸與 logistic 迴歸、生存分析，以及包括傾向分數配對（propensity score matching）和中斷時間序列（interrupted time series）在內的進階觀察性研究方法。每章結尾均附有以模擬為基礎的練習，情境仿照真實醫學研究，藉此強化各項技術的實際應用能力。

本書特色還包括：

• 每節結尾提供「Key Concepts」摘要，逐步建構讀者的理解，並為後續主題做好準備

• 各小節標題旁以辣椒圖示標示技術性內容，讓讀者可以跳過進階材料，而不影響閱讀連貫性

• 每章提供摘要，以高層次概述協助讀者快速複習並鞏固所介紹的統計方法

• 範例取材自已發表的期刊論文，而非通用資料集，讓每項技術都建立在真實的臨床情境中

• 將數學符號降至最低，連結高中數學與現代研究所需的統計專業能力

本書專為醫療照護領域的研究所研究人員、醫學科學博士班學生，以及正在進行持續專業發展或轉向學術研究的臨床醫師而設計，旨在培養評估研究可靠性、並有信心將研究成果應用於病人照護所需的統計素養。
