Bayes Theorem ; Clinical Trials ; Decision Support Techniques ; Technology Assessment, BiomedicalAbstract: The Bayesian approach involves collecting data from past experience in order to reach conclusions about future events. Bayesian methods have become increasingly popular in recent years, notably in medical research. There are a large number of books on Bayesian analysis, but very few that cover clinical trials and biostatistical applications in any capacity. There is no book available that is introductory in nature and covers such a broad array of essential topics.
This book provides a valuable overview of this rapidly evolving field, not only for statisticians in the pharmaceutical industry, but also to anyone involved in conducting clinical trials and HTA work. Comprehensive coverage of Bayesian methods in medical research
Illustrated throughout by case studies and worked examples
Authors are at the forefront of research into Bayesian methods in medical research
Suitable for those with a limited statistical background
Accompanied by a Web site featuring data sets and worked examples in WinBUGS - the most widely accepted Bayesian modelling packageRecord link: https://kce.docressources.info/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=477 Hold

Economics ; Economics, Medical ; Health Care Costs ; Health Policy ; Health Services ; Peer Review ; Periodicals ; United StatesAbstract: This journal will publish articles on all aspects of health economics: theoretical contributions, empirical studies, economic evaluations and analyses of health policy from the economic perspective. Its scope will include the determinants of health and its definition and valuation, as well as the demand for and supply of health care; planning and market mechanisms for achieving equilibrium; micro-economic evaluation of individual procedures and treatments; and evaluation of the performance of health-care systems in terms of equity and allocative efficiency. Editorials and book reviews will be regular features. Occasionally commissioned authoritative reviews will be published, special issues will bring together contributions on a single topic, and a debate section will facilitate rapid exchange of views on topical issues. Contributions related to problems in both developed and developing countries are welcome.

Q 295 System TheoryAbstract: After an explanation of the book’s purpose, the authors provide in Part 1 first an overview of SSM as a whole, then a fleshed-out account with just enough detail and advice to enable the reader to set about using the approach in problem situations of concern. Part 2 describes examples of SSM in action and also pays special attention to one of the most common application areas: that of work in the information system/information technology field. A final chapter in part 2 discusses the difficulties some people have in grasping the true nature of SSM, drawing attention to the inadequacies in much of the secondary literature. Appendices provide an outline of the theoretical considerations which underpin SSM, a guide to sources of further information and illustrations of some of SSM’s techniques. Contents note: INTRODUCTION. -- PART 1 THE NATURE OF SSM. -- Chapter 1 A SKELETON ACCOUNT OF SSM AS A WHOLE. -- What is SSM? -- What is the SSM Process? -- What can SSM be used for? -- Is SSM mature? -- How was SSM developed? -- How does SSM differ from other systems approaches? -- Chapter 2 A FLESHED-OUT ACCOUNT OF SSM. -- Introduction. -- The SSM Learning Cycle: Finding Out. -- The SSM Learning Cycle: Making Purposeful Activity Models. -- The SSM Learning Cycle: Using Models to Structure Discussion about. -- The Situation and its Improvement. -- The SSM Learning Cycle: Defining ‘Action to Improve’. -- The Whole SSM Learning Cycle Revisited: seven principles, four actions. -- PART 2 SSM IN ACTION. -- Chapter 3 SSM IN ACTION IN MANAGEMENT SITUATIONS. -- Introduction. -- Case 1: Rethinking the Role of a Head Office Function in Shell. -- Case 2: Evaluating Past Events. -- Case 3: Upgrading the Skills of a Department. -- Case 4: Tackling your own Issues. -- Case 5: Clarifying a Concept. -- Chapter 4 SSM IN ACTION IN THE FIELD OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS. -- Introduction. -- Case 1: Creating an Information Strategy in an Acute Hospital. -- Case 2: Evaluating a Clinical Information System. -- Case 3: Evaluating a National Initiative in the NHS. -- Case 4: Providing Information Support for Scientists and Technologists. -- Conclusion. -- Chapter 5 SSM: MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND CRAFT SKILLS. -- Introduction. -- Misunderstanding SSM. -- Craft Skills in SSM Use. -- Tips on Techniques in SSM. -- PART 3 SUMMING UP. -- Chapter 6 SSM AS A WHOLE – some reminders. -- Approaching SSM: the mindset. -- SSM: an aide memoire. -- Appendix One: SSM’s Theory. -- Appendix Two: The Story of SSM’s Development. -- Appendix Three: A Talked-through Example of Activity Model Building. -- Appendix Four: A Generic Model of Purposeful Activity Modelling. -- Appendix Five: Some Frequently Asked Questions.

Controlled Clinical Trials ; Meta-Analysis as TopicAbstract: Over the last twenty years there has been a dramatic upsurge in the application of meta-analysis to medical research. This has mainly been due to greater emphasis on evidence-based medicine and the need for reliable summaries of the vast and expanding volume of clinical research. At the same time there have been great strides in the development and refinement of the associated statistical methodology. This book describes the planning, conduct and reporting of a meta-analysis as applied to a series of randomized controlled clinical trials.
* The various approaches are presented within a general unified framework.
* Meta-analysis techniques are described in detail, from their theoretical development through to practical implementation.
* Each topic discussed is supported by detailed worked examples.
* A comparison of fixed and random effects approaches is included, as well as a discussion of Bayesian methods and cumulative meta-analysis.
* Fully documented programs using standard statistical procedures in SAS are available on the Web.
Ideally suited for practising statisticians and statistically-minded medical professionals, the book will also be of use to graduate students of medical statistics. The book is a self-contained and comprehensive account of the subject and an essential purchase for anyone involved in clinical trials.Record link: https://kce.docressources.info/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=478 Hold
