课程名称：临床流行病学 课程概述：现代医学的基础是证据。临床研究为我们提供了这一证据，指导卫生专业人员找到日常实践中面临问题的解决方案。将医疗实践中的现有问题转化为研究领域是一项具有挑战性的过程，需要谨慎考虑。临床流行病学的实践旨在通过在研究人群中应用既定的方法来解决这一问题，同时始终从临床角度关注手头的问题。 本课程教授临床流行病学的原则和实践，结合医疗专业人员面临的实际问题，阐述现有临床研究的例子。医学研究人员将学习如何将实际临床问题转化为可供调查的研究问题，并在设计流行病学研究时获得对一些重要考虑因素的深入理解。 核心概念将通过四个关键主题介绍：诊断、预后、治疗和病因。参与本课程的学习者将通过专家讲座、同伴互动和评审作业，提高对所讨论专题的理解。 课程大纲： - 课程介绍：欢迎！此部分提供有关课程的一般信息，包括学习目标、结构、格式和完成要求。 - 流行病学简介：课程将以对流行病学研究关键概念的简要介绍开始，随后进行两次入门讲座，再通过小作业为深入探索临床背景下的流行病学奠定基础。 - 诊断研究：本周将聚焦于DEPTh模型的起点：诊断和诊断研究。通过一系列讲座，您将遇到诊断领域的常见挑战，并发现如何通过临床研究解决这些问题。 - 预后研究：本周您将了解到循证预后的挑战：我们如何最好地预测患者健康的进展？您将学习如何通过流行病学研究来解决这类问题，并熟悉如何开发预后工具以指导临床决策。 - 干预研究：在最后一周的讲座中，您将步入干预研究的领域，探索DEPTh模型的“治疗”分支。我们将重点研究预期和非预期效果，并探讨一种新的研究设计：随机对照试验。 - 在线辩论：本周任务是进行在线辩论，研究现有的临床研究并参与讨论，形成客观评估并基于此发展个人观点。 - 考试与结论：这是课程的最终评估：一份包含30道选择题的测验，旨在测试您应用在整个课程中获得的知识的能力。祝您好运！
Name:About the course
Description:Welcome! Here you will find general information about the course. The learning objectives, the structure, the format and the requirements of completion will be presented to you.
Name:Introduction to Epidemiology
Description:The course will kick off with a brief introduction to some of the key concepts in epidemiological research. We will warm up with two introductory lectures, followed by a small by assignment, before diving further into the field of epidemiology from a clinical context.
Name:Diagnostic Research
Description:This week we begin at the start of the DEPTh model: Diagnosis and diagnostic research. Through a series of lectures, you will come across familiar challenges in the area of diagnosis and discover how these problems can be addressed by clinical research.
Name:Prognostic Research
Description:This week you will be introduced to the challenges of evidence-based prognostication: how can we best predict the course of a patient's health? You will learn this week how this kind of question can be addressed through epidemiological research, becoming familiar with how prognostic tools can be developed for use in guiding clinical decisions.
Name:Intervention Research
Description:In our final week of lectures, you will step into the world of intervention research, exploring the "Therapeutic" branch of the DEPTh model. We will focus on the study of intended and unintended effects, exploring a new kind of study design: the randomized controlled trial.
Name:The Online Debate
Description:The task this week is in the form of an online debate in which you will study an existing piece of clinical research and contribute to a discussion of this research, forming both an objective assessment and using that to develop your own opinions.
Name:Exam and Conclusion
Description:This is final assessment in the course: a quiz of 30 multiple choice questions that aim to test how well you can apply the knowledge you have gained throughout the course. Good luck!
Evidence forms the basis of modern medicine. Clinical research provides us with this evidence, guiding health professionals towards solutions to problems that they face in daily practice. Transferring existing problems in medical practice to a research setting is a challenging process that requires careful consideration. The practice of clinical epidemiology aims to address this through the application of established approaches for research in human populations, while at all times focussing on the problem at hand from a clinical perspective. This course teaches the principles and practice of clinical epidemiology, drawing on real problems faced by medical professionals and elaborating on existing examples of clinical research. Medical researchers will lean how to translate real clinical problems into tangible research questions for investigation, gaining insight into some of the most important considerations when designing an epidemiological study along the way. Core concepts will be introduced along four key themes: diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and etiology. Followers of this course will develop their understanding of the topics addressed through lectures from experts, peer interaction and review assignments.
