Sommario/riassunto

This book provides an interdisciplinary volume of advances in disaster science that further understanding global progress to reduce disaster risk. As we pass the halfway point on implementing the Sendai Framework for Risk Reduction, the question stands what progress has been made on reducing disaster risk at the global and local scales? The book is thematically grouped around the Sendai Framework’s four priorities, spanning efforts to assess hazards and risk, disaster



governance, mechanisms to build resilience, and recovery in the aftermath of crises. This book offers scholars and practitioners a glimpse into the opportunities and challenges at the forefront of disaster risk reduction efforts.

Sommario/riassunto

Filling a gap in literature, this book examines surgical trials with a special focus on the underlying principles, challenges, and best practices to successfully conduct rigorous surgical research. While randomized controlled trials (RCTs) remain the gold standard for evaluation of the safety and efficacy of most medical interventions, they are particularly difficult to implement successfully in the context of surgery. As a result, recruitment rates are often extremely low, crossover from non-operative to operative is common, and patients randomly allocated to surgery often simply decline to have the procedure. All of these challenges call into question the recent generalizability and fundamental quality of traditional surgical RCTs. As such, this book explores advanced alternative trial design methods and describes the current regulatory environment around the world. Designed as a practical guide, it is a valuable tool for surgeons, epidemiologist and biostatisticians involved in this challenging field.
