From an idyllic childhood on the Minchinbury estate in the western suburbs of Sydney, Combet's world changed dramatically with the early death of his wine-maker father. The shy child was uprooted to the suburbs and an uncertain future. A scholarship allowed him to study engineering and saw him appreciate first hand the role of unions in the workplace. 606 $aPoliticians$zAustralia$vBiography 606 $aLabor unions$xOfficials and employees$vBiography 606 $aPolitics, Practical$zAustralia 607 $aAustralia$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aPoliticians 615 0$aLabor unions$xOfficials and employees 615 0$aPolitics, Practical 676 $a994.07092 676 $aB 700 $aCombet$b Greg$01786601 702 $aDavis$b Mark$c(Journalist) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961740003321 996 $aThe fights of my life$94318470 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05254nam 22009375 450 001 9910983345103321 005 20260302154940.0 010 $a9783031775635 010 $a3031775635 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-77563-5 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31922850 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31922850 035 $a(CKB)37723033200041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-77563-5 035 $a(OCoLC)1507699551 035 $a(EXLCZ)9937723033200041 100 $a20250226d2024 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aIntroduction to surgical trials /$fedited by Stephen Lyman, Olufemi R.

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. 517 3 $aSurgical trials 606 $aSurgery$xResearch 606 $aSurgery$xResearch$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aOrthopedics 606 $aEpidemiology 606 $aSurgery 606 $aBiometry 606 $aBioinformatics 606 $aGeneral Surgery$xmethods$3(DNLM)D013502Q000379 606 $aClinical Trials as Topic$3(DNLM)D002986 606 $aResearch Design$3(DNLM)D012107 606 $aBiostatistics$3(DNLM)D056808 606 $aComputational Biology$3(DNLM)D019295 606 $aEpidemiologic Research Design$3(DNLM)D015340 606 $aOrthopedic Procedures$xmethods$3(DNLM)D019637Q000379 606 $aEpidemiology$3(DNLM)D004813 606 $aOrthopedics$3(DNLM)D009985 615 0$aSurgery$xResearch. 615 0$aSurgery$xResearch$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aOrthopedics. 615 0$aEpidemiology. 615 0$aSurgery. 615 0$aBiometry. 615 0$aBioinformatics. 615 12$aGeneral Surgery$xmethods 615 12$aClinical Trials as Topic 615 22$aResearch Design 615 22$aBiostatistics 615 22$aComputational Biology 615 22$aEpidemiologic Research Design 615 22$aOrthopedic Procedures$xmethods 615 2$aEpidemiology. 615 2$aOrthopedics 676 $a616.7 702 $aLyman$b Stephen$f1970- 702 $aAyeni$b Olufemi R. 702 $aKoh$b Jason 702 $aNakamura$b Norimasa 702 $aKarlsson$b Jon 712 02$aInternational Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery, and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910983345103321 996 $aIntroduction to surgical trials$94547355 997 $aUNINA
