Statistics Medical

Medical statistics is a branch of science that uses mathematics to evaluate and analyze data related to diseases, nursing, and other medically related activities. It is an important tool for health development, helping to make informed decisions regarding treatment, prevention and resource management.

Medical statistics deals with the statistical analysis of medical conditions such as life expectancy, disease incidence, and laboratory results. Data collection may be done through medical records or ongoing research. This data can be used to make health care decisions.

Medical statisticians also develop tools for data collection and analysis—this may include creating programs that collect and process data, as well as creating educational programs to train staff in data techniques and formal statistical models. Some of the areas where health statistics methods are used include public health, mental health, epidemics, pharmacology, and drug research. Medical statistics includes many different approaches to collecting, analyzing, and using statistical information. Such approaches include the use of conceptual models, correlation analysis, logistic regression, and other methods. To collect statistical data in medicine, special studies are used, such as surveys and interviews, blood tests and other tests.
