Case-Control Confusion

Ambulatory Pediatrics, 2006
Critical analysis of journal articles by using principles of evidence-based medicine is important for clinicians applying research results in their practice and is a valuable component of pediatric residency training. Appraisal of an article's methodological rigor is often tailored to a particular type of study design, so that misclassification of ...

Semiparametric odds ratio model for case–control and matched case–control designs

Statistics in Medicine, 2013
We propose a semiparametric odds ratio model that extends Umbach and Weinberg's approach to exploiting gene–environment association model for efficiency gains in case–control designs to both discrete and continuous data. We directly model the gene–environment association in the control population to avoid estimating the intercept in the disease risk ...

The supplemental data might, for example, arise from a population survey conducted independently of the case–control study.

Case-control studies

2009
The case-control design is very suitable when dealing with rare diseases and when many factors for the disease under study need to be evaluated, as is the case in determining the risk of driving under the influence of drugs. However, the methodology is hard to implement and there are many sources of potential bias that could affect the validity of the ...
