Methods of Clinical Epidemiology by Suhail A R Doi

Methods of Clinical Epidemiology by Suhail A R Doi

“Methods of Clinical Epidemiology” serves as a text on methods useful to clinical researchers. It provides a clear introduction to the common research methodology specific to clinical research for both students and researchers. This book sets out to fill the gap left by texts that concentrate on public health epidemiology and focuses on what is not covered well in such texts. The four sections cover methods that have not previously been brought together in one text and serves as a second level textbook of clinical epidemiology methodology. This book will be of use to postgraduate students in clinical epidemiology as well as clinical researchers at the start of their careers.

“This is an excellent book on statistical and mathematical epidemiology as it applies to diagnostics and treatment outcomes of medical conditions… Charts, tables, graphs, and equations are included throughout the discussions. … This is a good book for PH students and researchers.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, March, 2016)

Suhail Doi is an Associate Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at the University of Queensland. He is involved in teaching, student supervision, curriculum development and research. He has published widely and his interest lies in research that addresses unanswered questions in patient care as well as questions related to methods of research design and analysis used in Medicine. Thus his research focuses on patient care topics such as epidemiology, prognosis and treatments of disease as well as methodology especially that related to meta-analysis. He is the co-author of the Doi–Thalib method for meta-analysis which was introduced in 2008 as an alternative to the random effects model.
