ABSTRACT
Epidemiology and statistics play an important role in clinical practice. Evidence based medicine is a systematic approach of basic concepts in this areas. It offers a useful framework to enhance the physician ability in clinical research selection and in the same way improves communication between researchers and clinicians. In order to improve patient care in obstetrics and gynecology, this review focuses in general aspects of diagnosis from clinical epidemiology point of view.
