Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This concise but wide-ranging handbook reviews the epidemiology of neurological disease and the treatment and prognosis of all major diseases of the nervous system. Part One offers essential guidance for clinicians to quantitative methods in research, including genetic epidemiology, decision analysis, meta-analysis, outcomes research, and survival analysis. Thus it provides a good understanding of the evidence underlying clinical management. The second part is devoted to individual neurological diseases, covering etiology, diagnosis, prognosis, interventions, and implications for clinical practice. With contributions from leading international authorities, this book is an invaluable guide to clinical decision-making for neurologists and others involved in the management of neurological disease.

Book News Annotation:

For both clinical and research neurologists, specialists in neurology, epidemiology, and other fields offer a general account of principles of quantitative research in clinical neurology, addressing the design and analysis of clinical studies, the genetic approach, diagnostic research, and other aspects. Then they look at etiology, diagnosis, prognosis, and intervention in specific major neurological diseases.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Review:

"...excellent..." British Journal of Neurosurgery"This well-written, tightly edited book covers a great deal of ground gracefully and efficiently. The ideas are presented lucidly. The writing is terse but clear. The content is valuable. This book is a winner for anyone interested in the growing field of neuroepidemiology. It is an authoritative and valuable introduction to the field." Doody's Review Service ^GR"The book provides a novel approach to neurological thinking and the subtitle indicates a refreshing population-based approach to some of the difficult issues." Doctors.net
