Outcomes Research in Animal Health Care by Barbara Poulsen Nautrup
This is the first book on outcomes research (OR) in animal health care, published at a time when OR is increasingly recognized in veterinary medicine. OR is an interdisciplinary field of research that evaluates the results of healthcare interventions regarding their effects relevant for patients and animal care takers.
Serving as an easy to read and comprehensive reference, this volume describes the primary areas of OR in detail. It starts with a concise overview of its outstanding development in human medicine and the current situation in animal health care for pets and livestock. The second part offers the key tools used in OR including prospective and retrospective studies and meta-analyses, illustrated with real-world examples from veterinary medicine. The following part is committed to health economic studies, the ultimate use of OR data. All relevant analyses are carefully described and explained, focusing on cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis, being the most relevant analysis in livestock and companion animals. The last part is dedicated to QoL and animal welfare metrics. It outlines the current situation in veterinary medicine, covering available instruments to assess QoL in animals, their advantages, and potential pitfalls. The book concludes with presenting the groundbreaking tools from human medicine, i.e., the quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), along with early efforts to adapt these concepts to animal health care.
The multidisciplinary content addresses a broad audience, including students, veterinary practitioners, researchers, industry professionals, livestock producers, and policymakers. Further, scientists interested in QoL in animals or the development of QoL questionnaires will find helpful guidance. No specialized background in economics, epidemiology, or statistics is required.

"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
