Abstract
In this Section, "Statistics for screening", we want to emphasize that it is more and more important to use statistics to understand, to analyze and to evaluate the data of a screening, in order to describe the population and to take decisions and, even before, to learn to draw and design a screening itself.As highlighted by the title, using results from the project of mammography screening in the Province of Trieste, we want to focus in particular the importance of - the quality of the data; without which it is no possible to make a correct statistics, and in this talk we show an example of the correction of the data concerning the blood group; - the evaluation of the indicators, and here it is important to decide which are ‘informative indicators’, and how it is possible to read the output in a critical way; - the impact of a screening on a population. In this context it is evident the importance of a multidisciplinary work, and this is the experience started some years ago in our local reality, with the involvement of pathologists, surgeons, radiologists, radiotherapists, oncologists, physicists , mathematicians, statisticians, ... the different care and research contributions for breast disease in the province of Trieste.Pubblicazioni consigliate
