Computer controlled mathematical models of medical outcomes are commonly found in the current medical literature. What is less common is an understanding of the methods used to construct such models, leaving the consumers of medical research to accept the interpretations as presented. A basic knowledge of the concepts used to generate models will provide the clinician with the insight needed to critically evaluate medical literature based on mathematical models.
计算机控制的医学结果数学模型在当前医学文献中很常见。然而,对构建此类模型所使用方法的理解却不那么普遍,这使得医学研究的消费者只能接受所呈现的解释。了解用于生成模型的概念基础知识,将为临床医生提供基于数学模型批判性评估医学文献所需的洞察力。
