The objective was to identify the characteristics of epidemiologic designs enabling their classification. A critical review of the literature in the clinical epidemiologic area was done to establish the main differences between designs. A meeting with experts to discuss this controversial topic and obtain criteria by consensus was organized. We propose an integral classification based on levels with two fundamental shafts: intervention and explanatory reasoning.
目的是确定能够对流行病学设计进行分类的特征。对临床流行病学领域的文献进行了批判性综述，以确定不同设计之间的主要差异。组织了一次与专家的会议，讨论这个有争议的话题并通过共识获得标准。我们提出了一种基于层次的综合分类方法，有两个基本维度：干预和解释性推理。
