Abstract

Biases are one of the biggest problems in clinical research, because these could provocative that the research hasn’t enough quality and its conclusions are not relevant to academy or even this results can’t be applied to clinical practice. Maybe this is the main reason why we need to recognise the biases and prevent it if we apply the appropriate actions. Also, in this paper, we included several biases exempli from clinical research with the object that the lecturer could observe how these biases could appear in any stage of the course of a research. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to describe a classification for biases that usually could appear in the clinical research, and to describe concepts to understanding the importance of biases as well as the strategies to prevent, control or even eradicate them.
