Kurzbeschreibung
This accessible book uses an evidence-based "just the facts" approach to diagnostic test ordering and clinical decision rules in the emergency department. This is a useful reference that physicians at all levels can use to refresh their memories on basic statistics and how to use evidence-based practice when ordering and interpreting tests. For example, when a clinician is deciding whether or not to order a CT head for a patient with a blunt head injury and normal mental status, he or she can refer easily to the book for guidance on decision rules. Flow charts guide the reader easily to the most appropriate action in the particular clinical situation.
