As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, medical statistics and public
health data have become staples of newsfeeds worldwide, with
infection rates, deaths, case fatality and the mysterious R figure
featuring regularly. However, we don't all have the statistical
background needed to translate this information into knowledge. In
this lively account, Stephen Senn explains these statistical
phenomena and demonstrates how statistics is essential to making
rational decisions about medical care. The second edition has been
thoroughly updated to cover developments of the last two decades
and includes a new chapter on medical statistical challenges of
COVID-19, along with additional material on infectious disease
modelling and representation of women in clinical trials. Senn
entertains with anecdotes, puzzles and paradoxes, while tackling
big themes including: clinical trials and the development of
medicines, life tables, vaccines and their risks or lack of them,
smoking and lung cancer, and even the power of prayer.
