Epidemiology provides the tools and knowledge necessary for the development of clinical research. But not only in research. For clinical decision making, epidemiology is the grammar of clinical knowledge, which allows articulating observations from quantitative, basic, qualitative, clinical and public health studies, with the aim of promoting a better decision for/with the patient or for a community.
