Statistics are used in many different ways in the medical field. Mainly they are used to evaluate medical practice, the efficacy and safety of drugs and to assess diseases.

Data from many sources (e.g. primary care records, clinical trials, observational studies, etc) are analysed to create statistics. These statistics are then collected and evaluated to ultimately improve medical practice.
