This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and distribution of medical laboratories in 13 urban districts of Mashhad city.
Methods: In this study, the absolute and relative distributions of medical laboratories in urban areas of Mashhad city were studied. Geographical location, type of the activity and the ownership of medical laboratories were extracted from Mashhad Medical Council database (up to the end of 2015). The data related to geographical districts and demographic features were obtained from reports issued by the Municipality of Mashhad.
Results: By the end of 2015 in Mashhad city, 153 laboratories were active. Medical laboratory percent regarding to their fields were 51/6% clinical pathology laboratories, 45/8% anatomoclinical laboratories, and the rest of were anatomical pathology laboratories. The frequency of medical laboratories based on ownership was as follows: 32/7% clinical laboratories, 47/7% private laboratories and 19/6% hospital laboratories. Considering the zoning of the city of Mashhad, the largest number of medical laboratories was in districts one (38), eight (23), two (20) and the lowest number of medical laboratories were in the district 12 with one laboratory. The number of medical laboratories to 10,000 people in urban districts of Mashhad city were 0/6 that was the highest rate in districts 1, 8, Samen and the lowest one in districts 3, 5, 6 and 12.

Therefore, the implementation of guidance policies by responsible institutions such as Ministry of health, medical association and organizations will help to distribute medical workers equally.

In clinical researches, studies are categorized into two main groups: observational and interventional. In a general division, observational studies are also divided into descriptive and analytical studies. Case-control, cohort and cross-sectional studies are the three famous study designs in the descriptive category. Case studies which include case reports and case series are also in this category. Although these two types of studies provide weak evidence for causal relationship based on evidence hierarchy, but they have specific advantages, leading to being used by researchers in certain cases. The goal of this study is to review some important points in writing a manuscript with these study designs.
