Book Description
Especially for psychiatric trainees preparing for the Critical Review Paper of the MRCPsych or similar examination, but also for anyone interested in acquiring the ability to evaluate articles in medical journals, British psychiatrist Marchevsky sets out criteria. Within the three main values of validity, importance, and usefulness, he discusses such aspects as probability, binomial and normal distributions, the critical appraisal of different study designs, papers on various specific functions such as diagnosis and etiology, and multivariable analysis.
