Book description
This new volume in the Toolkit series is designed for clinicians and
junior researchers who need to interpret the evidence for the
effectiveness of the many diagnostic tests now available. Exceptionally
user-friendly, this pocket-sized textbook realizes readers are not
experts in diagnostic test interpretation. The authors cover a variety
of issues, from how to design diagnostic test studies to understanding
the results of diagnostic tests and interpreting the findings for
clinical practice and health care policy.
