Abstract

This paper discusses some of the issues that, once resolved, may help child neurologists and pediatric neuroepidemiologists in their mutual understanding and collaborative efforts. Emphasis is placed on the all-too-frequent assumption that evidence-based medicine only covers the application of results from randomized double-blind trials in practice. A considerable proportion of child neurology concerns clinical diagnosis and etiological inference. Therefore, evidence-based child neurology might benefit not only from the therapeutic, but also from the diagnostic and etiological components of epidemiology.
