Description
Faculty: Prof. Henning Tiemeier, MD PhD
This course will give an introduction to clinical epidemiology. Due to its focus on the appropriate research design, measurement and evaluation, clinical epidemiology provides the scientific basis for the practice of medicine. The topics that will be covered in this course include risk (determinants of disease, pathogenesis), diagnosis (evaluation of diagnostic tests), prognosis (prediction of disease outcome), and management of disease (evaluation of therapy efficacy and safety). The course takes both a theoretical and a problem-oriented approach.
The teaching will be very interactive. Selected epidemiological concept and common problems such as multiple testing, variable selection and imputation are discussed in depth.
Objectives
- To gain understanding of the designs and analyses of clinical studies;
- To be able to plan, formulate, and implement clinical research;
- To be able to evaluate aetiological, diagnostic and prognostic research;
- To know the challenges and fallacies in modern clinical research.
