AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES (FURTHER INFO)

Starting from clinical considerations, it is possible to use another classification of the epidemiological approach, according to which there are 4 fields or sectors of investigation: Sector of known patients, ie affected by a given disease diagnosed through a diagnostic iter. Methodically, there is the definition of epidemiological inquiry as a data collection tool. Sectors of ignorant patients, ie affected by a given disease but not identified by diagnostic procedures: the purpose of epidemiological investigation is to ascertain the existence of such patients (dépistage or screening). Pre-clinical sector: the dépistage in this case aims to Highlight latent pathology with early diagnosis techniques. Sector of risk subjects, ie subjects who are not currently affected, but with a greater chance of getting sick than the rest of the population, as exposed to known risk factors.
