Abstract

Today is the era of evidence-based medicine in all disciplines of medical sciences. Everyday, there is explosion of print and electronic information jumbled with many unfamiliar terms and it is virtually impossible for an unwary reader to deduce and infer from the literature. The present review gives an insight into the commonly used terms in the subject of dermatoepidemiology.
