Epidemiology is a basic medical science that is fundamental to
understanding diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Diagnosis
requires answers to a series of questions: is this patient sick or
well? If sick, what are the chances of a particular disease causing
the problem? What investigations will be most useful in obtaining
the diagnosis? Epidemiology applied to the bedside problems of
patients - clinical epidemiology - can help to provide solutions.
The ability of a detail of the patient's history, or a clinical
sign which could confirm or disprove diagnosis can be described by
using simple arithmetic. The probability that a disease is or is
not present can be given a numerical value, and the extent to which
investigation increases or reduces the likelihood of discovering
disease can also be measured. Stroke is one of the most common
diagnoses made by physicians. Patients with signs and symptoms
suggestive of stroke require careful assessment to avoid diagnostic
error. This book is written by a clinician who is also trained in
epidemiology and is intended for clinicians who treat patients with
stroke, for epidemiologists who want to apply epidemiology to
clinical problems, for therapists who wish to develop their
understanding of the application of scientific method to
rehabilitation practice, and for medical students who may wish to
accelerate and complement the process of acquiring clinical
experience about stroke.
