The objective of the course is to provide an appropriate knowledge of the foundations and the methodologies of the statistics that are useful for understanding, describe and interpret the phenomena. The student will then have to acquire the ability to: Organize Data into sets that can be analyzed and clinically significant; synthesize them; analyze them; draw conclusions in order to obtain the correct information on the phenomenon under study. Knowing how to use the statistical calculation for the comparison of two or more groups
The course aims to promote the understanding of the main mechanisms that characterize the body's pulmonary regulation. In addition to the general aspects of lung function, the main etiopathogenetic, pathophysiological and clinical characteristics of the most common respiratory diseases will be treated, making prevalent reference to those relevant to the Degree Course
