Recenzii
From the reviews:
"Sobolev and Kuramoto … offer fellow researchers a guide to methodology for studying how long patients in a universal health-care system wait for elective or other non-emergency surgery. In addition to providing statistical tools, they set out the entire research process, from framing the question to interpreting results." (SciTech Book News, June, 2008)

Analysis of Waiting-Time Data in Health Services Research
By Boris Sobolev, University of British Columbia, and Lisa Kuramoto, Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute
Access to care, patient flow, treatment outcomes—each of these indicators is crucial to determining quality of care in health systems, and the length of time that patients wait for surgery unites them all. Presenting a detailed set of statistical concepts and methods, Analysis of Waiting-Time Data in Health Services Research asks critical questions linking waiting times to health care outcomes. Generously illustrated with charts and tables, the book places this type of data collection, analysis, and reporting firmly in the context of health services research, the study of outcomes of health care delivery to a population.
Some of the questions investigated in this volume include:
Dr. Sobolev and Ms. Kuramoto are based at the Centre of Clinical Epidemiology and Evaluation of the Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute.

Some of the questions investigated in this volume include:
- What factors are associated with longer waiting times?
- What is the probability of undergoing elective surgery within the recommended time?
- How does the type of procedure affect waiting time?
- What are the effects of delays in scheduling an operation?
- What is the risk of unplanned emergency surgery among patients waiting for surgery?
- What is the risk of death associated with delayed surgical treatment?
