CLINICAL EPIDEMIOLOGY ; the methodology and practice of research in occurrence, diagnosis, prognosis, therapy, or determinants of health problems of patients in health care settings. A clinical epidemiologist can be a clinician or another professional. Includes decision analysis, technology assessment, meta-analysis, evaluation of health care systems, and other disciplines and techniques. Biostatistics is considered as a separate discipline.(Woncadic)CLINICAL RESEARCH ; scientific investigations on occurrence, diagnosis, prognosis, therapy, or determinants of health problems of patients in health care settings aimed at application of the derived knowledge to patient care. (Woncadic) ECOLOGICAL SURVEY ; is a survey based on aggregated data for some population as it exists at some point or points in time; to investigate the relationship of an exposure to a known or presumed risk factor for a specified outcome. (Woncadic)EPIDEMIC ; an outbreak of a disease that affects many people, the number of cases increasing rapidly over a certain period of time (day, week, month or year) and spreading from place to place. When it occurs worldwide, it is referred to as a pandemic, e.g. AIDS.(Woncadic)
Epidemiologic Studies ; Studies designed to examine associations, commonly, hypothesized causal relations. They are usually concerned with identifying or measuring the effects of risk factors or exposures. The common types of analytic study are CASE-CONTROL STUDIES; COHORT STUDIES; and CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDIES.(MeSH)EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEY a method of data collection applied systematically to a population defined geographically, by demographic characteristics or life circumstances (e.g. women of childbearing age). (Woncadic) Epidemiology ; Field of medicine concerned with the determination of causes, incidence, and characteristic behavior of disease outbreaks affecting human populations. It includes the interrelationships of host, agent, and environment as related to the distribution and control of disease.(MeSH)EPIDEMIOLOGY ; the study of the distribution and determinants of health related states or events in specified populations, and the application of this study to control of health problems.(Woncadic) epidemiology ;The study of the occurrence and distribution of health-related events, states, and processes in specified populations, including the study of the determinants influencing such processes, and the application of this knowledge to control relevant health problems.(Dicepid)Global Burden of Disease ; Measure of the burden of disease using the disability-adjusted-lifeyear (DALY). This time-based measure combines years of life lost due to premature mortality and years of life lost due to time lived in states of less than full health. The metric was developed to assess the burden of disease consistently across diseases, risk factors and regions. (MeSH 2017)HEALTH SURVEY; a survey providing information about the health status of a population. It may be descriptive, explanatory, or exploratory. (Woncadic)Population Health ; The health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group. These populations are often geographic regions, such as nations or communities, but they can also be other groups. (From Am J Public Health. 2003 March; 93(3): 380–383) (MeSH 2018)primary care epidemiology ; The application of epidemiological principles and methods to the study and control of problems arising in primary care. It includes studies at the interface between primary care and the general population, as well as on the interfaces between primary, secondary, and tertiary care. Much work involves the determinants and outcomes of consultations in primary care. Here, determinants include also the nature of symptoms, signs, or illnesses occurring in the community and factors influencing decisions to consult or not to consult. Outcomes include—in addition to all other conventional outcomes—the duration, severity, and impact of illnesses and symptom complexes (Dicepid)Public Health Systems Research ; A field of study that examines the organization, financing, and delivery of public health services within communities, and the impact of these services on public health.(MeSH 2017)Bibliographic link
