Research Unit of Clinical Epidemiology

Core tasks

  • Clinical epidemiology and clinical epidemiological research are key functions with regard to practice evidence based medicine and patient treatment in a modern health care system and in a modern university hospital.
  • Diagnosis and treatment are key predictors for the patients’ prognosis, and therefore these two elements constitute the main cornerstone of clinical epidemiology. Exactly, the quality of diagnosis and treatment are key elements in the practice of evidence based patient treatment.
  • In Center for Clinical Epidemiology we perform clinical epidemiology at the highest international level, with the focus of patient diagnostics, treatment, and prognosis. Our research is conducted in cooperation with local, regional, national and international researchers and research institutions.
  • We offer consultancy within clinical epidemiology and data analyses to all clinical departments, health care authorities, and other business partners (local, regional, national or international). All projects that are related to clinical epidemiology and data analyses are very welcome.
  • Research education, and supervision of medical students and PhD students.
