Handbook for Designing and Conducting Clinical and Translational Research - Translational Neurosurgery

Translational Neurosurgery provides a comprehensive overview reflecting the depth and breadth of the field of translational research focused on neurosurgery, with input from a distinguished team of basic and clinical investigators. It covers the principles of evidence-based medicine and applies these principles to the design of translational investigations, helping researchers navigate challenging considerations in study design and implementation. This book is a valuable resource for neurosurgeons and neurosurgery investigators who want to understand more about translational research, and also for basic scientists interested in translating their research into clinical practice. - Focuses on the principles of evidence-based medicine and applies these principles to the design of translational investigations within neurosurgery - Provides a practical, straightforward approach that helps investigators navigate challenging considerations in study design and implementation - Includes valuable discussions of the critical appraisal of published studies in translational neurosurgery and provides specific examples from the recent literature
