Description
Ideal for veterinary students, residents and clinicians, the fourth edition of Veterinary Clinical Epidemiology: From Patient to Population, has been fully updated in line with developments in research and teaching. The logical chapter progression reflects the stages in a clinical case work-up and how epidemiological concepts and methods contribute. This new edition provides guidelines for improving patient and population health outcomes, and detecting emerging diseases through systematic evaluation of patient encounters and electronic medical records. The author has compiled the foundational information needed to assess literature and think as a clinician and clinician scientist. Using recent literature examples, foundational concepts relating to the diagnosis and management of individual patients and populations are clearly explained. Without getting lost in the math, the rationale for clinical test selection and design, selecting prognostic indicators, and assessment of treatment protocols for individuals and populations are outlined. Through this work, the author provides a solid foundation for an evidence-based approach to generating and consuming clinically relevant information. 271 p.
