Abstract

Good epidemiological methods and appropriate statistical analysis are cornerstones of any valid, reliable and publishable epidemiological study. This editorial summarizes epidemiological studies published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (12 issues, May 2005--April 2006) with respect to study objective, type and design. A significant proportion of these studies started off with a single study group. Drawing on this finding, various methodological aspects of choosing a sampling frame and of sampling methods are reviewed.

摘要

良好的流行病学方法和恰当的统计分析是任何有效、可靠且可发表的流行病学研究的基石。本社论总结了发表在《抗菌化疗杂志》（2005年5月至2006年4月，共12期）上的流行病学研究，内容涉及研究目的、类型和设计。这些研究中有很大一部分最初只有一个研究组。基于这一发现，本文对选择抽样框架和抽样方法的各个方法学方面进行了综述。
