Abstract
The medical literature is replete with clinical and epidemiological research of varying quality that would hopefully be pertinent and useful for maintaining the health of large population groups and improving the prognosis for individual patients with various health conditions. Research investigations utilize different types of study designs ranging from the observational cross-sectional, case-control, and prospective studies to the methodologically rigorous experimental or randomized controlled clinical trials.
