Clinical Epidemiology

Clinical Epidemiology is an international, peer reviewed, open access journal. Clinical Epidemiology focuses on the application of epidemiological principles and questions relating to patients and clinical care in terms of prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Clinical Epidemiology has a special interest in international electronic medical patient records and other routine health care data, especially as applied to safety of medical interventions, clinical utility of diagnostic procedures, understanding short- and long-term clinical course of diseases, clinical epidemiological and biostatistical methods, and systematic reviews. Clinical Epidemiology endorses the PRISMA statement for the reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, the STROBE statement for the reporting of epidemiological studies, and the RECORD statement for the reporting of studies conducted using observational routinely-collected health data.
