Clinical Epidemiology

Editor-in-Chief: Professor Henrik Toft Sorensen

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 Statement for Pharmacoepidemiology (RECORD-PE). Authors should check the EQUATOR Network for reporting instructions and further information.

When considering submission of a paper utilizing publicly-available data, authors should ensure that such studies add significantly to the body of knowledge and that they use appropriate validated methods for identifying health outcomes.

This journal is a member of and subscribes to the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
