4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful for MRCGP exams, 15 Feb 2008
By Antonio Moncayo (Zaragoza) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: How to Read a Paper: The Basics of Evidence-Based Medicine (Paperback)
How to appraise a scientific study can be very difficult. This book helps to undertand the basics of appraising papers in a way that helps to answer some of the questions on the MRCGP exam.

Also it will provide insight into what is really important and what need to go in the bin.

The differences between quantitative and qualitative research are very interesting and the book is illustrated with examples.

Is not easy to read ( hence only 4 stars ) nut is certanly one of the most accessible and readable guides.

5.0 out of 5 stars well written and easy to understand, 14 May 2008
This review is from: How to Read a Paper: The Basics of Evidence-Based Medicine (Paperback)
This is the second time I have bought this book. I lent it to a friend and never got it back. I have found it invaluable for my MSc and my friend found it a great help for her BSc (obviously!). I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to be able to critically appraise medical literature.
