Michael W. Kattan, Ph.D., is Chairman of the Department of Quantitative Health Sciences at Cleveland Clinic. He directs a department of 90 professionals who span the areas of biostatistics, epidemiology, health outcomes research and statistical genetics. Previously, he was Associate Attending Outcomes Research Scientist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Associate Professor of Biostatistics in Urology at Cornell University. Dr. Kattan has written more than 200 peer-reviewed publications, many explicity dealing with medical decision making, and he serves on the editorial boards of numerous journals, including Medical Decision Making.
"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."
