Synopsis

Evidence-based biomedicine: methodology for research, standardization and scientific procedural aspects is a structured guide for designing, conducting, analyzing and communicating research in the health field, with particular emphasis on clinical and occupational health practice. The book highlights the importance of integrating qualitative and quantitative approaches, as well as systematic reviews and meta-analyses, under solid statistical and probabilistic rigor in order to produce valid, comparable and decision-oriented results for clinical practice. The structure of the book follows the research process step by step. It begins with clinical research and the composition of multidisciplinary research teams, stressing the need to connect clinical care with investigative activity and to recognize the central role of health professionals in generating knowledge. It then addresses research ethics, including legal and ethical frameworks, scientific validity, risk–benefit balance, informed consent, fair selection of participants, and the ethics of scientific publishing (authorship, plagiarism, conflicts of interest and editorial responsibilities). Subsequent chapters deal with study design and types of research, offering a structured model to formulate research questions, plan studies and choose between different observational and experimental designs. Descriptive and prevalence studies, cohort studies, case–control studies and diagnostic accuracy studies are presented, together with key criteria for their appropriate selection and critical appraisal. A core theme of the book is the standardization of protocols and procedures, both in research and clinical practice, with the aim of ensuring transparency, reproducibility and comparability across centers and studies. Scientific procedural aspects include rigorous data collection and analysis, careful interpretation of findings and strict adherence to ethical principles throughout the research process. Finally, the text underscores the importance of training in evidence-based biomedicine and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, proposing rigorous research as the foundation for improving clinical practice, informing health policy and advancing biomedicine as a whole.
