As a emergency physician years removed from residency, this book was an excellent review of the biostatistic terminology and concepts essential to interpreting clinical trials. The reviews of each subject provide a clear and concise summary of the latest research, allowing me to have a wealth of information at my disposal without having to dig up each individual study. The results are presented objectively and are methodically analyzed. I intend to bring this book to the ED and leave it for all of my colleagues to have during their shifts as well.
