The etiology for many of the mucosal lesions we encounter in clinical practice is frequently uncertain or unknown and there is reason to believe that multicausality plays an important role. To detect multicausal relationships, the analysis must include multiple variables and large amounts of data. A traditional retrospective analysis is often based on a limited number of variables and frequently entails methodological errors where vital information may be missing. Prospective studies may be hampered by the fact that the prevalences of many conditions are relatively low. The search for new knowledge in oral medicine should therefore be facilitated by prospective use of formalized information gathered in multicenter studies. MedView is a computer program that is based on formalized input and registration of all clinical information. The output applications are focused on visualization and statistical analysis. MedView is aimed at clinical research and is well suited for multicenter studies. It also contains applications for education and distant consultations.
我们在临床实践中遇到的许多黏膜病变的病因常常不确定或未知，而且有理由相信多因素因果关系起着重要作用。为了检测多因素因果关系，分析必须包括多个变量和大量数据。传统的回顾性分析通常基于有限数量的变量，并且经常存在方法学错误，可能会遗漏重要信息。前瞻性研究可能会受到许多疾病患病率相对较低这一事实的阻碍。因此，通过前瞻性地使用多中心研究中收集的形式化信息，应有助于口腔医学新知识的探索。MedView是一个基于所有临床信息的形式化输入和记录的计算机程序。其输出应用专注于可视化和统计分析。MedView旨在用于临床研究，非常适合多中心研究。它还包含教育和远程会诊的应用程序。
