AB Throughout  this  text,  we  have  addressed  the  importance  of  understanding  basic  elements  of  research  design  and  statistics  for  clinical  decision  making,  especially  within  the  context  of  evidence-based  practice.  In  this  chapter  we  will  present  an  important  perspective  in  health  care  research  based  on  principles  of  epidemiology.  The  information  from  epidemiological  research  can  have  direct  influence  on  practitioners'  day-to-day  choices  related  to  diagnosis,  prognosis  or  intervention.  The  purpose  of  this  chapter  is  to  present  statistical  methods  for  measures  of  disease  frequency,  estimates  of  health  risks  for  cohort  and  case-control  studies,  and  the  evaluation  of  treatment  effects  in  randomized  trials.
