Produktinformationen zu „Randomized Controlled Trials (PDF)“
Randomized controlled trials are one of the most powerful and
revolutionary tools of research. This book is a convenient and
accessible description of the underlying principles and practice of
randomized controlled trials and their role in clinical
decision-making.
Structured in a jargon-free question-and-answer format, each
chapter provides concise and understandable information on a
different aspect of randomized controlled trials, from the basics
of trial design and terminology to the interpretation of results
and their use in driving evidence-based medicine. The authors end
each chapter with their musings, going beyond the evidence or
citations, and sometimes even beyond orthodox correctness to share
their thoughts and concerns about different aspects of randomized
controlled trials, and their role within the health system.
Updated to include insights from the last decade, this second
edition challenges over-reliance on randomized controlled trials by
debating their strengths and limitations and discussing their
optimal use in modern healthcare. It also includes a new and
increasingly relevant chapter on the ethics of randomized
trials.
World renowned writers and thinkers Drs Jadad and Enkin bring
you this invaluable book for busy health professionals who wish to
understand the theory of randomized controlled trials and their
influence on clinical, research or policy decisions.

Autoren-Porträt von Alehandro R. Jadad, Murray W. Enkin
The combined biography of Drs Jadad and Enkin:There is a 40-year difference in age between us and we come
from vastly different backgrounds. Nevertheless, during more than a
decade we have recognized the extent to which our paths and
thinking have converged. We first noticed this in Oxford with our
mutual interest in systematic reviews and confirmed it at McMaster
University as we became painfully aware of the pitfalls of over
reliance on quantitative evidence and its limited influence on
health care. During the past 5 years, our focus has been more on
the value of rhetoric, information and communication technologies,
complex systems and the importance of effective communication in
the health system.
Over the years, we have grown together in our understanding, have
worked together on a variety of projects, and mutually reinforced
our views on clinical evidence. We are happy to share our expanding
vision of randomized trials in this new edition of the book.
Alejandro R Jadad MD, DPhil, FRCPC
Alex Jadad's work helps improve health and wellness for all,
through innovative uses of information and communication
technologies. He is a physician, researcher, educator and public
advocate. He obtained a doctoral degree from Oxford University for
work on meta-analysis of clinical trials, and was the founding
Director of the McMaster Evidence-based Practice Centre. He
developed "The Jadad Scale" (the most widely used tool
to assess clinical trial quality in the world); the Centre for
Global eHealth Innovation; and a virtual platform for global
collaboration, and to enable the public to shape the health system
and society, worldwide.
