Despite its importance, clinical epidemiology faces several challenges:
- Data Quality: Ensuring the accuracy and completeness of clinical data can be difficult. - Generalizability: Results from clinical studies may not always be generalizable to broader populations. - Ethical Considerations: Balancing the need for rigorous research with ethical considerations, such as informed consent and patient privacy. - Rapid Advancements: Keeping up with the fast pace of medical advancements and integrating new findings into clinical practice.
