Sommario/riassunto

Emiel Rutgers spreekt in zijn oratie over de zorg voor borstkanker. Die zorg is groot en neemt toe, alsook het aantal patiënten en de media-aandacht ervoor. De patiënt is tegenwoordig mondiger en beter geïnformeerd. Ook de overheid, zorgverzekeraars en de media worden kritischer. De medische wetenschap kan steeds meer: betere screening, betere diagnostiek, betere sparende behandelingen met betere genezingskansen, beter cosmetisch resultaat, betere prognosebepaling, betere chemotherapie en hormoonbehandelingen en betere herstelprogramma's na de behandeling. Daardoor wordt het percentage patiënt

Sommario/riassunto

Nursing is a growing area of higher education, in which an introduction to statistics is an essential component. There is currently a gap in the market for a 'user-friendly' book which is contextulised and targeted for nursing. Practical Statistics for Nursing and Health Care introduces statistical techniques in such a way that readers will easily grasp the fundamentals to enable them to gain the confidence and understanding to perform their own analysis. It also provides sufficient advice in areas such as clinical trials and epidemiology to enable the reader to critically appraise work published
