Abstract

This text outlines the main challenges facing health statistics, starting with the need for a shared terminology among theorists and practitioners. Accordingly, it seeks to clarify basic concepts for the entire academic community, including both applied disciplines (medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, etc.) and theoretical fi elds (statistics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, etc.). It focuses exclusively on concepts that have reached scientifi c consensus, as refl ected in the reporting guidelines promoted by the EQUATOR Network.

Fields of Study & Subjects
