"Kattan's background in statistics is evident in the abundance of entries related to biostatistics, epidemiology, decision analysis, and outcomes measurement. Such content is well balanced by entries on foundational topics in evidence-based medicine and clinical decision making. All essays are carefully thorough and include applications and examples to illustrate difficult concepts.  The value of this resource outweighs its cost, particularly for health science libraries affiliated with a medical school or teaching hospital."
