Overview

Clinical epidemiology is now widely promoted and taught as a basic science of Evidence-Based Medicine, of clinical EBM to be specific. This book, however, is mostly about that which Miettinen takes to be the necessary substitute for this now-so-fashionable subject namely, Theory of Clinical Medicine together with its subordinate Theory of Clinical Research. The leit motif in all of this is Miettinen 's perception of the need and opportunity to bring major improvements into clinical medicine in this Information Age, now that theoretical progress has made feasible the development of practice-guiding Expert Systems for it. Parts of this text constitute essential reading for whoever is expected or otherwise inclined, to study or teach clinical epidemiology, and the same is true of those who set policy for the education of future clinicians; but practically all of it is essential reading for future and current academics in the various disciplines of clinical medicine.
