Pharmacoepidemiology Online Journals

Pharmacoepidemiology is the study of the uses and effects of drugs in well-defined populations. To accomplish this study, pharmacoepidemiology borrows from both pharmacology and epidemiology. Thus, pharmacoepidemiology is the bridge between both pharmacology and epidemiology. Pharmacology is the study of the effect of drugs and clinical pharmacology is the study of the effect of drugs on clinical humans. Part of the task of clinical pharmacology is to provide a risk-benefit assessment by effects of drugs in patients: doing the studies needed to provide an estimate of the probability of beneficial effects on populations, or assessing the probability of adverse effects on populations. Other parameters relating to drug use may benefit epidemiological methodology. Pharmacoepidemiology then can also be defined as the transparent application of epidemiological methods through the pharmacological treatment of conditions to better understand the conditions to be treated. Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of diseases and other health states in populations. Epidemiological studies can be divided into two main types: Descriptive epidemiology describes the disease and/or exposure and may consist of calculating rates, e.g., incidence and prevalence. Such descriptive studies do not at this time use health control groups and can only generate hypotheses, but not test them. Studies of drug use would generally fall under descriptive studies. Analytic epidemiology includes two types of studies: observational studies, such as case-control and cohort studies, and experimental studies which include clinical trials or randomized clinical trials. The analytic studies compare an exposed group with a control group and usually designed as hypothesis testing by studies. Pharmacoepidemiology benefits from the methodology developed in general epidemiology and may further develop them for applications of methodology unique to the needs of pharmacoepidemiology. There are also some areas that are altogether unique to pharmacoepidemiology, e.g., pharmacovigilance. Pharmacoepidemiology online journals are top journals,  it has been successfully publishing quality research articles for many years and looking forward to framing up an eminent, outstanding issue with the best quality research articles in this year.
