  2. Nested case–control study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_casecontrol_study

    A nested casecontrol (NCC) study is a variation of a casecontrol study in which cases and controls are drawn from the population in a fully enumerated cohort. [1] Usually, the exposure of interest is only measured among the cases and the selected controls. Thus the nested casecontrol study is more efficient than the full cohort design.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casecontrol_study

    Although in classical casecontrol studies, it remains true that the odds ratio can only approximate the relative risk in the case of rare diseases, there is a number of other types of studies (case–cohort, nested casecontrol, cohort studies) in which it was later shown that the odds ratio of exposure can be used to estimate the relative ...

  5. Cohort study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohort_study

    A nested case-control study is a case control nested inside of a cohort study. The procedure begins like a normal cohort study, however, as participants develop the outcome of interest they are selected as cases. Once the cases are identified, controls are selected and matched to each case.

    "in a nested-case-control study, some number of controls are selected for each case from that case's matched risk set. By matching on factors such as age and selecting controls from relevant risk sets, the nested case control model is generally more efficient than a case-cohort design with the same number of selected controls." - No.

  7. Epidemiological method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiological_method

    Epidemiological (and other observational) studies typically highlight associations between exposures and outcomes, rather than causation. While some consider this a limitation of observational research, epidemiological models of causation (e.g. Bradford Hill criteria) [7] contend that an entire body of evidence is needed before determining if an association is truly causal. [8]

  9. Case series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_series

    Case series have a descriptive study design; unlike studies that employ an analytic design (e.g. cohort studies, case-control studies or randomized controlled trials), case series do not, in themselves, involve hypothesis testing to look for evidence of cause and effect (though case-only analyses are sometimes performed in genetic epidemiology ...
