序言 《圖解醫學統計學》是專為醫學系學生、醫學研究人員、生物醫學領域的研究生以及醫藥從業人員而設計。這些人在其職業生涯中有時會碰到量化的數據結果（自己或他人的），需要嚴謹的評估與解釋，其中有些還需要通過可怕的統計考試！針對這些需求，重要的是要理解正確的統計概念和方法。我們很務實的，希望燃起讀者對統計的熱情。如同前一個版本，本版的目標，是提供處理醫學文獻統計概念的學生、研究人員和臨床工作者，一本內容嚴謹、易於閱讀、具全面性、切合主題且實用的應用書籍。我們相信《圖解醫學統計學》會是一本特別有用的統計課程參考指南。第 四 版 的 架構， 與 前 三 版 相 同。 如 同「at a Glance」系列的其他書一樣，藉由兩到三頁，或是四頁的章節引導讀者，每個章節分別說明醫學統計學的不同面向。文中有大量的交叉應用，方便讀者在不同的過程做連結。我們從自己的教學經驗中汲取了寶貴的見解，並考慮學生學習醫學統計時遇過的困難。基於此，我們選擇將書中的理論內容控制在足以理解相關統計方法的範圍內，以確保理論不會掩蓋其實際應用的可行性。醫學統計學是一門包含許多主題，內容廣泛的學科。本書提供基本概念的入門介紹，以及常用的統計方法。流行病學，是門研究特定人口疾病的分布和起因的學科，與醫學統計學有緊密的關聯。因此，會討論到流行病學中關於實驗設計和解釋的主要議題。有些章節，偶爾才會使用，但卻是許多醫學研究領域中的基礎，像是實證醫學、系統回顧、統合分析、存活分析、貝氏方法，以及建立預後評分。我們講解了這些章節的原理，讓讀者看到相關文獻時，能夠看懂且能判讀其結果。附錄 A 中，有許多基本的統計表。例如，Neave, H R (1995) 統 計 表 格，Routledg: 倫 敦 和 Diem, K , Lenter, C , 及 Seldrup (1981) 的 Geigy 科學表格第 8 版的文獻及書目檔案，Basle: Ciba-Geigy 及其他人的更完整版本，可提供讀者需要更精確的手算結果時使用。第四版中，新增了附錄 D。這個附錄包含隨機對照試驗（CONSORT 檢核清單和流程圖）和觀察型研究 （STROBE 檢核清單）的指引。CONSORT 和 STROBE檢核清單是由 EQUATOR Network 製成，初始目標在於提供健康研究的資源和訓練。研究結果的呈現指引已經用於許多其他類型的研究，我
